La lune Io : souffre-douleur de Jupiter

Avec plus de quatre cent volcans actifs, la lune galiléenne Io est un monde coloré et extrême qui gravite autour de Jupiter. Le volcanisme y est provoqué par d’immenses effets de marées et les interminables panaches des volcans viennent nourrir l’atmosphère jovienne de soufre et de sodium…

Whole-disc views, paterae, plumes... everything imaged in #IoMoon by #JunoCam now in science format. And to think this spacecraft is soon going to be unnecessarily decommissioned... 🤦‍♂️

NASA's Juno Probe Makes Another Close Flyby of Io

The Juno spacecraft has revealed some fascinating things about Jupiter since it began exploring the system on July 4th, 2016. Not only is it the first robotic mission to study Jupiter up close while orbiting it since the Galileo spacecraft, which studied the gas giant and its satellites from 1995 to 2003. Juno is also … Continue reading "NASA’s Juno Probe Makes Another Close Flyby of Io"

Universe Today

The side of Io facing Jupiter experiences a stronger gravitational pull than the side facing away. This difference in gravitational forces leads to tidal bulges on Io, causing the moon to be constantly squeezed and stretched as it orbits Jupiter.
