Last week, NASA’s Juno spacecraft performed a scintillatingly close flyby of Jupiter’s moon Io — the closest in over 20 years — and captured breathtaking new images of its evershifting surface that could further scientists’ understanding of one of the most volcanic worlds in the Solar System.

If Juno had pulled off the maneuver around our planet it’d be considered to be well within low Earth orbit and lower than many satellites, its flight coming within approximately 930 miles of Io’s surface. NASA said it expects this rare proximity will generate a “firehose of data” for the craft’s instruments.
