It’s February 6, and today’s image reveals the Jovian moon Io in a revelatory new light.
Over the weekend the operators of NASA’s Juno spacecraft released a new batch of images showcasing a February 3 flyby of Io, the volcanically active moon orbiting Jupiter.
As part of its mission to closely study Jupiter, Juno has also been making periodic flybys of some of the gas giant’s more intriguing moons.
NASA then invites members of the public to process the raw images to tease out details.
Björn Jónsson has done just that for the most recent flyby of Io, producing the amazing image in this post.
A plume is visible at lower right, it’s been brightened rel to other parts of the image & is heavily processed.
