Last Saturday, NASA's orbiter approached within approximately 930 miles of the solar system's most volcanic world, facilitating Juno's instruments to gather an extensive "firehose of data."
NASA's Juno spacecraft embarked on an extraordinary expedition to Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io, in one of two planned close flybys. This recent journey, the closest approach to Io in over two decades, provided space enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to witness the marvels of this volcanically active world.
Juno's principal investigator, Scott Bolton, explains that by merging data from the recent flyby with previous observations, the team aims to analyze variations in Io's volcanoes, including eruption frequency, brightness, heat, lava flow changes, and the connection between Io's activity and charged particles in Jupiter's magnetosphere.
