NASA's Juno spacecraft, launched on August 5, 2011, reveals Jupiter's volcanic moon Io like never before with magnificent new images. Jupiter's volcanic moon Io has never been imaged like this before. During its 57th flyby of Jupiter's orbit, NASA's Juno spacecraft came closer to the planet's moon Io than any mission in the past two decades. Passing within just 1,500 kilometers of Io, the most volcanic body in the solar system, Juno managed to capture surprisingly detailed images. NASA's Juno spacecraft, launched on August 5, 2011, passed within 1,500 kilometers of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io on December 30, 2023. However, this is not the closest pass to Io. Previously, NASA's Galileo spacecraft passed 181 kilometers above Io's south pole. Juno, which reached Jupiter and its satellite system on July 4, 2016, after a 2.8 billion kilometer journey, captured images, some in black and white and some in color. But the purpose of this flyby was not only to capture incredible images, but also to collect important data about Io and its volcanism. NASA and Juno mission officials are investigating how often volcanoes on Io erupt, how bright and hot they are, how the shape of the lava flow changes, and whether Io's activity is linked to the flow of charged particles in Jupiter's magnetosphere. Jupiter's volcanic moon Io is more It hasn't been seen like this before. According to scientists, Io derives its feature of being the most volcanic body of the Solar system from the enormous gravity of Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar system, as well as the gravitational influence of the other large Jovian moons Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. The d affect the entire Jovian system, making it a valuable place to study.
