"Juno's Aerial Views Capture Io's Volcanic Activity"
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Juno spacecraft captured aerial views of Jupiter's moon Io, revealing a mountain and a glass-smooth lava lake. The spacecraft's recent flybys also provided updates on Jupiter's polar cyclones and water abundance, with data suggesting that the gas giant's equatorial water abundance is three to four times the solar abundance. These findings shed light on the formation and evolution of Jupiter, and Juno's extended mission aims to further explore the planet's mysteries.
