On this day, 15 December 1890, Hunkpapa Lakota leader Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake (Sitting Bull) was killed by Indian police in the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota. Indian agent James McLauchlan had sent 39 officers and four volunteers to arrest Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake, fearing the growth of the spiritual ghost dance movement, which foresaw an end to white expansionism. Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake refused to cooperate with police, so they used force on him which outraged the crowd which had gathered, one of whom shot a policeman.

But Juno will get much, much nearer to Io over the course of the next year, eventually sweeping over the surface at an altitude of just 1,500km.
It’s more than 20 years since we’ve had such an encounter with the 3,600km-wide object. …
