TL;DR

NASA's Juno spacecraft has captured new images of Jupiter's moon Io during a recent flyby, revealing a charred and volcanic landscape. Io, the most volcanically active world in the solar system, is constantly being stretched and squeezed by Jupiter's immense gravitational force and the gravitational tug of its sister moons Europa and Ganymede. The upcoming flybys in December 2021 and 2024 will provide scientists with more data on Io's volcanic activity, while telescopes like Hubble and James Webb will observe the moon from a distance.
