Using a cutting-edge camera installed on the Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona, scientists have captured unprecedentedly detailed images of Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io. The images, taken by the SHARK-VIS (SHArp-imaging Kirkpatrick VISual) camera, reveal features on Io’s surface as small as 80 kilometers wide, a resolution previously only possible with spacecraft exploration. The images provide valuable insights into Io’s volcanic activity and its impact on the moon’s surface over billions of years.
