NASA's Juno spacecraft made a close flyby of Jupiter's moon Io, capturing images of its chaotic terrain and revealing what appears to be a pair of plumes erupting from the surface. The spacecraft's observations will help scientists understand Io's volcanic activity and its potential magma ocean. The close encounter, the second in less than two months, provides valuable data for studying the moon's geology and its connection to Jupiter's magnetosphere.
