"Stunning Images Reveal Solar System's Most Volcanic World"

NASA's Juno probe has captured breathtaking new images of Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanically active body in the Solar System. The images showcase the moon's north polar region and capture volcanic plumes from ongoing eruptions. Io, slightly larger than Earth's Moon, is covered in volcanoes due to its hectic gravitational environment. The constant stream of sulfur dioxide gas erupting from Io forms a huge torus of plasma in Jupiter's orbit, generating powerful ultraviolet aurorae. The new images reveal non-volcanic mountains reaching up to 6,000 meters in height and captured at least two volcanic plumes. Juno will conduct even closer flybys in the coming months, providing more stunning photos.
