On May 16, 2023, NASA's Juno spacecraft flew past Jupiter volcanic moon lo and then the gas giant soon after lo is the most volcanically active body in solar system . Slightly larger Earth,s moon lo is a world in constant torment . Not only is a biggest planet in the solar system . Forever pulling at it gravitational but so are its Galilean siblings- Europe and the biggest moon in the solar system, Ganymede. The result is that lo is continously stretched and squeezed, actions linked to the creation of the lava seen

This rendering providers a "starship captain" point of veiw of the flyby using image form JunoCam. For both targets lo end jupiter, raw JunoCam images were reporjected into veiws similar to the perspective of a consumer camera. The lo flyby and the jupiter approach moive were rendered separately and composed into a synchronous split- screen vedio.
Launched on Aug 5.2011, jeno embarked on 5 year journey to jupiter its mission: to probe beneath the planet's dense clouds and answer question about the origin and evolution of jupiter. Our solar system and gaint planets in general across the cosmos. Juno arrived at the gas giant on july 4. 2016 after a 1.7 - billion- mile joruney and settled into a 53 days polor orbit stretching form just above jupiter's clouds tops to the outer reaches of the jovian magnetosophere. Now is its extended mission, NASA'@ most distant plantery orbiter continous doing flybys jupiter and its moon's
