NASA's Juno spacecraft ventures closer than ever to Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io.
JIRAM was initially designed to catch glimpses of Jupiter's polar auroras. But as fate would have it, this nifty gadget has become an essential volcano-spotting tool for Io.Principal Investigator, Scott Bolton, couldn't hide his excitement, stating, "While JIRAM was designed to look at Jupiter’s polar aurora, its capability to identify heat sources is proving indispensable in our hunt for active volcanos on Io.
This geological tug-of-war leads to jaw-dropping tidal forces, creating uneven ground that can rise and fall by up to 330 feet! Consequently, this planetary stress unleashes extreme volcanism on Io, with lava shooting dozens of miles into space.
