Hundreds of millions of miles beyond Earth lies a world teeming with lava. It's Jupiter's moon Io, and NASA just swooped phenomenally close to the Jovian satellite.
The space agency's Juno spacecraft, which has orbited the gas giant Jupiter for nine years, recently passed within just 13,700 miles of the tortured volcanic world, the most volcanic place in our solar system, and captured vivid imagery. For reference, our chalky moon lies some 239,00 miles from Earth.
