Observations made of Jupiter’s moon Io during the Juno mission’s flybys helped astronomers confirm how and why Io became the most volcanic world in the solar system.
Hundreds of millions of miles beyond Earth lies a world teeming with lava. It's Jupiter's moon Io, and NASA just swooped phenomenally close to the Jovian satellite.The space agency's Juno ...
Flybys of Jupiter’s moon Io, the only known volcanic world in our solar system, have captured images of a massive lava lake and a towering Matterhorn-like mountain.

It is a suite of detectors on the Juno Jupiter orbiter (launched 2011, orbiting Jupiter since 2016). [2] JADE includes JADE-E, JADE-I, and the EBox. [2] JADE-E and JADE-I are sensors that are spread out on the spacecraft, and the EBox is located inside the Juno Radiation Vault. [2] EBox stands for Electronics Box. [2]
[6] [7] On 7 October, the ESA Hera spacecraft was launched successfully. It will arrive at the asteroid Didymos in 2026 after Mars flyby, where it will study the effects of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test. NASA's Europa Clipper mission launched on 14 October and will study the Jovian moon Europa while in orbit around Jupiter.
The new study found that when Voyager 2 was taking its readings intense solar wind created conditions that happen 4% of the time, said Jamie Jasinski, a space plasma physicist at NASA’s Jet ...
This video uses images from NASA's Juno mission to recreate what it might have looked like to ride along with the Juno spacecraft as it performed its 27th close flyby of Jupiter on June 2, 2020. During the closest approach of this pass, the Juno spacecraft came within approximately 2,100 miles (3,400 kilometers) of Jupiter's cloud tops.
