Juno Mission Uncovers Lava Lake and Towering Peak on Jupiter’s Volcanic Moon Io

NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured stunning images of Jupiter’s moon Io, revealing a lava lake and a towering feature named ‘Steeple Mountain.’ The surface of Io, the most volcanically active world in our solar system, is continuously reshaped by lava, erasing impact craters and creating a smooth topography. The new data provides insights into Io’s unique geological processes and its history of volcanic activity.
