Hubble and James Webb telescopes team up to study Jupiter’s volcanic moon

E&T

The Io Plasma Torus (IPT) is a doughnut-shaped cloud of ions and electrons surrounding Jupiter, created when atmospheric gases escaping from Io are ionised. Electrons collide with the ions, which absorb energy from the collisions and release it as ultraviolet light, which can be detected by telescopes.
