Three Views of Jupiter's Io Credit:
Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, as seen by the Galileo spacecraft in June. These three images, digitally enhanced, reveal new details about Io's surface. Some areas appear red, a color not previously recorded by missions like Voyager, which lacked cameras sensitive to these hues. Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System.
