NASA reveals ‘glass-smooth lake of cooling lava’ on surface of Jupiter’s moon Io
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has provided stunning close-up images of Io, one of Jupiter’s moons, revealing a massive lava lake on its surface.
During flybys in December 2023 and January 2024, Juno came within 930 miles of Io, offering the closest-ever glimpse of the moon’s volcanic activity.
Io boasts hundreds of active volcanoes, with eruptions sometimes visible from telescopes on Earth.
The newly captured images showcase Loki Patera, a colossal 127-mile-long lava lake on Io.
Scientists have been monitoring this feature for years, noting its position above magma reservoirs beneath Io’s surface.
Juno’s observations reveal a remarkably smooth surface, reminiscent of volcanic glass on Earth, Live Science reported.
