THE DECADE OF DISCOVERY IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS
PLATE 2.2 Voyager spacecraft images of Jupiter's moon Io revealed the presence of sulfurspewing volcanoes (left). Observations with an infrared camera on NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea made a diffraction-limited 3-µm image of the Loki, the brightest of these volcanoes (right).
