Pluto-Bound New Horizons snaps cool picture of Jupiter's moon, Io, and much more.

Some great new pictures.

Image of the planet Jupiter's moon, Io, as seen by the New Horizons spacecraft. A plume from a huge volcanic eruption can be seen at the north pole of the moon.

Io's surface change from the picture Galileo took.



And its on its way to Pluto and the kuiper belt.

See this link for many more low/high resolution pictures from New Horizon's.
