NASA flies extremely close by volcanic moon of Jupiter
During its 57th orbit around Jupiter, NASA’s Juno spacecraft achieved the closest approach to the planet’s moon Io, surpassing the proximity of any other mission in the past two decades.
On Saturday, December 30, 2023, Juno came within approximately 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) of Io, renowned as the most volcanic body in the solar system.
This close encounter allowed Juno to capture exceptionally detailed images of the Jovian moon.
The last time a spacecraft approached Io more closely was in 2001 when NASA’s Galileo spacecraft passed 112 miles (181 kilometers) above Io’s south pole, Space.com reported.
