"Juno spacecraft captures stunning close-up images of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io"
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Juno spacecraft completed its second close flyby of Jupiter's moon Io, aiming to uncover insights into its volcanic activity and investigate the existence of a global magma ocean beneath its surface. Io's vibrant colors and explosive volcanism make it a subject of fascination among astronomers. With over 400 active volcanoes, Io lacks a significant water ice component due to its intense volcanic activity. Its uniqueness provides invaluable data for understanding volcanic processes and the dynamics of planetary bodies, enriching our understanding of the universe.
