"NASA's Juno Probe Reveals Spectacular Views of Volcanic Io in Closest Flyby Imagery"
TL;DR
NASA's Juno space probe has captured incredible images of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io in the closest flyby in two decades, coming within 930 miles of its surface. The flyby is part of a series that will provide a wealth of data on Io's volcanic activity, including the frequency and intensity of eruptions, and the potential existence of a magma ocean beneath its crust. Juno's instruments, particularly the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper, are documenting Io's 400 active volcanoes and studying the impact of Jupiter's tidal forces on the moon's geological activity.
