Colors on Io

Colors on Io
Colors on Io The image on the left shows Jupiter’s moon Io (pronounced “eye-oh”) in true color, where the colors have been balanced to best match what your eye might see if you were in a spacecraft nearby. The image on the right is in “enhanced color,” where the differences in color are amplified so that subtle details can be better seen. NASA / JPL-Caltech / University of Arizona
