James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble will help NASA's Juno probe study Jupiter's volcanic moon Io

An illustration shows the Juno spacecraft flying past Io as Jupiter lurks in the background.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope are set to team up and observe the solar system's most volcanic body: A moon of Jupiter named Io. 

The two space telescopes will remotely collect data about the intriguing world, then that information will be put to use by NASA's Juno spacecraft. More specifically, the data will help guide Juno during future flybys of Io, as the probe investigates how the highly volcanic moon may contribute to plasma present in the environment around Jupiter.
