Unraveling jupiter's deepest secrets (nasa documentary)* delves into the spacecraft's incredible engineering and the scientific breakthroughs it has delivered. The north polar region of jupiter’s volcanic moon io was captured by the junocam imager aboard nasa’s juno during the spacecraft’s 57th close pass of the gas giant on dec A technique called annealing was used to help repair radiation damage to the camera in time to capture this image. Juno has been circling jupiter for eight years — and it's only now revealing some of the most extraordinary images of the gas giant and its wildest moon, io
