The Juno probe, operating in the Jupiter system since 2016, continues to study its satellites. On December 15, scientists sent a team to it, which will transfer it to a new orbit. On it, the device will be able to teach Io during close flights.
Juno has previously studied the other two of Jupiter’s four major moons — Ganymede and Europa. In the first case, it caused a real flurry of scientific work on the largest satellite of the Solar System. In the second, which occurred in the fall of 2022, data processing is still ongoing, but people have already managed to admire the first 3D images of this icy world.
