Juno Spacecraft Gears Up for Closest Look at Jupiter’s Moon
NASA’s inquisitive Jupiter probe is establishing a closer connection with the planet’s most unpredictable moon, Io.
The Juno spacecraft is gearing up for the nearest encounter any mission has had with this volcanic moon in over two decades, aiming to glean valuable insights into its enigmatic activities.
Scheduled for Saturday, December 30, Juno’s flyby will bring it within a mere 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) of Io’s tumultuous surface, as reported by NASA.
Previous observations of Io occurred during flybys in May and July, with distances ranging from 6,830 miles (11,000 kilometers) to over 62,100 miles (100,000 kilometers).
This upcoming close encounter offers a rare opportunity to intimately explore Io, recognized as the most volcanically active body in our solar system, Gizmodo reported.
