Juno’s Close Flyby of Io: A Scientific and Technical Challenge

We explore the new images of Io taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft during its closest flyby in over 20 years, and we learn how they could change our view of this fascinating moon.

We also discuss the main objectives and achievements of the Juno mission, which is orbiting Jupiter since 2016 and studying its structure, atmosphere, magnetosphere, and moons.

We see how Juno managed to get so close to Io, what it saw and measured, and what it means for our understanding of Io’s geology, volcanism, and interactions with Jupiter.
