TL;DR Summary

NASA's Juno spacecraft captured stunning images of Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanic celestial body in the Solar System, during its closest approach to the moon. Io's cracked and textured surface reveals the unrelenting stretch and squeeze from its neighbors. Juno is currently flying on an extended mission through September 2025 and will continue to target Io throughout this year. The sulfur Io sprays into space might reach the surface of Europa, which could shed light on how life developed on ancient Earth.
