In new images captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft, fiery volcanic activity is seen erupting across Jupiter’s moon, Io.
Io is the third-largest of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons and is the most volcanically active celestial body in our solar system, with roughly 400 active volcanos, according to the agency.
Marking the second flyby of Jupiter’s scorching moon in the last 22 years, NASA’s orbiter came within about 930 miles of Io and captured two twin volcanic plumes spewing into space from the moon’s surface.
