One of Jupiter's 95 known moons, Europa is almost the size of our own moon. It’s encased in an ice sheet estimated to be 10 miles to 15 miles or more (15 kilometers to 24 kilometers) thick.

These instruments could reveal Jupiter's four largest moons, famously discovered by Galileo in 1610. Despite its relative proximity during this phase, Jupiter remains at a vast distance from Earth.

New findings from NASA's Juno probe provide a fuller picture of how widespread the lava lakes are on Jupiter's moon Io and include first-time insights into the volcanic processes at work there.
