For no particular reason, we're thinking about Jupiter's volcanic moon Io today. Our #JunoMission will fly by it on March 1, but you can make a virtual visit anytime at: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/io

Oh, and happy #NationalPizzaDay

Io

Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system.

.@NASAVoyager first observed these spokes from afar. Cassini saw them up close. And now @NASAHubble research provides a new view. Together, the data from these missions can help planetary scientists uncover the mysteries of the spokes.

Even as Lucy heads out into the solar system, our #OSIRISRex mission is currently on it way back to Earth, carrying a sample from asteroid Bennu. The mission is on track to deliver the sample return capsule on Sept. 24. https://www.nasa.gov/osiris-rex
#NASASolarSystem

OSIRIS-REx

OSIRIS-REx traveled to near-Earth asteroid Bennu and is bringing a small sample back to Earth for study. The mission launched Sept. 8, 2016, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Juno captured this view of Jupiter's moon Europa in September. During the flyby, Juno’s Microwave Radiometer (MWR) provided a look beneath Europa's icy crust to obtain data on its structure and temperature down to as deep as about 15 miles (24 kilometers) below the surface.
