A NASA spacecraft has captured images of a massive lava lake on Jupiter’s moon, Io. The lava lake is located at the Loki Patera volcano and was recently observed by NASA’s Juno spacecraft. Scientists are excited about this discovery as it provides insights into the volcanic activity on Io. Juno’s close flyby of Io allowed it to capture detailed images of the lava lake, revealing its size and patterns of activity. This information will help scientists better understand the geology and processes at work on Io.
