TL;DR
NASA's Juno probe recently captured close-up views of Io, Jupiter's most volcanic moon, revealing stunning details of its surface features, including huge mountains, volcanic plumes, and the massive Loki Patera volcano. These observations could provide insights into the moon's geological processes and the source of its volcanic activity, shedding light on whether there is a global sea of magma beneath its surface. The images, taken from just 930 miles away, offer unprecedented detail and may help answer longstanding questions about Io's volcanic landscape.
