NASA is famous for its research into Jupiter's strange atmosphere and for its beautiful images of the planet. Jupiter's moon, like the icy Europa or the largest moon in our solar system, is being investigated by the spaceship.
The volcanic moon Io will be investigated by the team. A series of nine flybys of Io will take place on December 15th.
The flybys are part of the mission to study Jupiter. The team is excited to have the study of Jupiter's moons included. With each close flyby, we have been able to get a lot of new information. Jupiter sensors are supposed to study Jupiter, but they can also observe Jupiter's moons.
Io is the most volcanic place in the solar system and has the strongest surface gravity of any moon. It has over 400 active volcanoes, which are powered by tidal forces from Jupiter and its other moons, causing it to heat up. The image above shows hot spots on the moon.
Jupiter has a strong magnetic field surrounding it that interacts with its moons. The way for future missions to study these objects in more depth is being paved by the observations of the moons.
