Juno Getting Closer to Jovian Moon Io

May 15, 2023
This image of the Jovian moon Io was generated using data collected by the JunoCam imager aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft during a flyby of the moon on March 1, 2023.

This image of the Jovian moon Io was generated using data collected by the JunoCam imager aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft during a flyby of the moon on March 1, 2023. At the time of closest approach, Juno was about 32,000 miles (51,500 kilometers) away from Io. The image's resolution is about 22 miles (35 kilometers) per pixel.

Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created this image using data from JunoCam.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the Juno mission for the principal investigator, Scott Bolton, of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. Juno is part of NASA's New Frontiers Program, which is managed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft. Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages JPL for NASA.
