Infrared view of Io by Juno

Infrared view of Io by Juno
Infrared view of Io by Juno In its extended mission phase NASA's Juno spacecraft captured this infrared view of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io. Juno was about 80,000 kilometers (50,000 miles) away. This infrared image was derived from data collected by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument aboard Juno. In this image, the brighter the color the higher the temperature recorded by JIRAM. NASA / JPL-Caltech / SwRI / ASI / INAF / JIRAM
