Io Shadow
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Jupiter's volcanic moon Io orbits the gas giant every 43 hours, about 500,000 kilometers above its clouds. The Hubble Space Telescope captured Io and its shadow crossing Jupiter's face in 1997. This image shows reflective patches of sulfur dioxide frost on Io's surface. These observations help scientists understand Io's intense volcanic activity and Jupiter's dynamic atmosphere.
