NASA's Juno spacecraft has made a second close encounter with Jupiter's moon, Io, capturing stunning images of the volcanic activity on the moon's surface. The spacecraft came within just 930 miles of Io, revealing volcanic plumes and calderas. The images provide detailed insights into the moon's hellish landscape and the potential energy that could be harnessed from its volcanoes. The close flybys have provided valuable 'bonus science' about Io, shedding light on its unique and nightmarish world.
NASA's Juno Mission recently captured this spectacular shot of Jupiter's moon Io — the most volcanically active world in the solar system with hundreds of volcanoes, some erupting lava fountains dozens of miles high. Io, volcanoes could power 100s of Earth’s. https://t.co/KQTCfZGo1G
