There are new, high-quality images of Jupiter's moon, Io, thanks to the nearest flyby of the celestial body by a spacecraft in decades.

NASA released images Saturday taken by the Juno spacecraft, which had been slated to fly roughly 930 miles from the surface of Io, the agency said.

The photos of a silhouetted, dusty red sphere pockmarked by massive grayish volcanoes prompted awe online among astronomers and other stargazers, some of whom called the images "magnificent" and "beautiful."

The photos were captured by the JunoCam imager, a public engagement tool that's capable of taking visible-light color images, and which NASA says has been weakened by the effects of radiation during the course of its mission.
