Jupiter’s moon Io is the most active volcanic world in the solar system. In December and February, the American space agency NASA’s Juno probe flew past it and sent detailed images of the body to Earth.

Juno approached the moon at a distance of about 1,500 kilometers from its surface, making it the closest flyby of an Earth body around Io in the past 20 years.

For example, the probe recorded a place called Loki Patera. It is a lava lake. What is surprising about it is that in the middle of the surface there are unusually hot islands (several thousand degrees Celsius), which, according to the opinion of scientists, on the other hand, are very cold, just like the garbage around the lake. , as described by the American station CNN.

“When the magma erupts after a volcanic eruption, it freezes immediately and probably forms sulfur snow,” explained Scott Bolton, principal investigator of the Juno moon at the Southwest Research Institute, about the occurs on the surface of Io.

“We obtained close-up images and other data of a 200-kilometer-long lava lake called Loki Patera … (volcanic) glass on Earth,” he said.

Astronomers hope to use data from the Juno probe to better understand Io’s volcanic dynamics.

The team turned some of the data obtained from the Juno probe into animations that zoom in on the surface structure of Lake Loki Patera and Steeple Mountain. Juno found the mountain using sunlight hitting the surface of the moon. Dramatic reflections then revealed a very sharp peak of the creation.

There are over 400 active volcanoes on the surface of the moon. Eruptions on the surface create clouds of sulfur and sulfur dioxide that reach heights of up to 500 kilometers. Sulfur and sulfur dioxide also cause the color of the moon.
