The US space agency "NASA" revealed pictures taken by the "Juno" probe as it approached Jupiter's moon "Io", which is teeming with volcanoes and lava. According to the workers on the "Juno" probe project, it will continue to get closer to Jupiter's moon, "Io", during this year.
And as Scott Bolton, the probe's mission official, told Mashable, these images were of Juno on its 51st trip around Jupiter. "The probe is not heading directly toward Jupiter, but is making close maneuvers around the giant planet," Bolton added. He continued, saying: "Io is the most volcanic celestial body we know in our solar system."
On the importance of Juno's mission, Bolton explained: "By observing it at different times and from different angles, we can see how volcanoes evolve and how often their lava is emitted, and the shape of these projectiles changes, which will lead us to very valuable information."
