"Juno Probe Captures Stunning Images of Volcanic Eruptions on Jupiter's Moon Io"

NASA's Juno spacecraft captured stunning imagery of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io during its second flyby, revealing active volcanic eruptions, lava lakes, and tall mountain peaks. The close approach allowed for close-up views of plumes escaping the moon's surface, showcasing ongoing volcanic activity. Io's extreme volcanism is attributed to intense tidal forces generated by the gravitational influence of Jupiter and its other large moons. Juno's extended mission will continue to investigate Jupiter and its moons until September 2025, with subsequent flybys of Io at increasing distances.
