An illustration shows NASA's Juno spacecraft as it makes a flyby of the Jovian moon Io. NASA's Juno mission will come closer to Jupiter's moon Io than any spacecraft has in around 20 years on Saturday ...

NASA's Juno spacecraft has made a second flyby of Jupiter's moon Io, capturing the solar system's most volcanic body in stunning detail. The spacecraft also allowed operators to glimpse a side of Io ...

Juno has been circling Jupiter for eight years — and it's only now revealing some of the most extraordinary images of the gas ...

Even for Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanic body in the solar system, a recent volcanic event witnessed by NASA's Juno spacecraft takes the biscuit. The event was just one eruption centralized in a ...

NASA’s Juno mission is best known for the gorgeous images of Jupiter that it has taken since its launch in 2011 and arrival at Jupiter in 2016. But the spacecraft hasn’t only investigated the planet — ...

Jupiter’s first Galilean moon, Io, is one of the most fascinating objects in the entire solar system, exhibiting hundreds of volcanoes that send molten lava hundreds of miles into space, some of which ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft recently spotted a glassy-smooth lava lake amid the volcanic hellscape of Jupiter’s moon Io. When Juno’s orbit swooped past Io last December, its cameras captured a mirrorlike ...

NASA’s Juno probe began orbiting Jupiter a little more than two years ago, and it has already returned heaps of valuable data that scientists are now analyzing to better understand our solar system’s ...

NASA shared a close-up image of Jupiter's Moon Io, captured by Juno spacecraft. In the caption, NASA said Juno conducted a close flyby of Io on Saturday, during which it got to within 1,500 kilometres ...

A team of space scientists has captured new images of a volcanic plume on Jupiter’s moon Io during the Juno mission’s 17th flyby of the gas giant. On Dec. 21, during winter solstice, four of Juno’s ...

NASA's Juno mission obtained a visible-light image of two possible volcanic plumes on Jupiter's moon Io during a February 3rd flyby, at a closest approach of 930 miles (1,500 km). This was Juno's ...

The last time a spacecraft got this close to Jupiter's moon Io was more than 20 years ago, a blink of an eye on a typical geological timescale. Most planetary bodies in our Solar System wouldn't ...
