"Juno Probe Explores Jupiter's Volcanic Moon Io with Assistance from James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble"

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope will collaborate to observe Jupiter's volcanic moon Io and collect data that will aid NASA's Juno spacecraft in future flybys. The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) will lead the investigation, using Hubble to collect data during its orbits around Earth and supplementing it with JWST observing time. The data will help researchers understand Io's volcanism, plasma-moon interactions, and their impact on Jupiter's magnetosphere and auroral emissions. The observations will provide a holistic view of the Jovian system and its connections, as future missions to Jupiter won't fly by Io until at least the 2030s.
