SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Galileo changed the way we look at our solar system. When the spacecraft plunged into Jupiter’s crushing atmosphere on Sept. 21, 2003, it was being deliberately destroyed to protect one of its own discoveries-a possible ocean beneath the icy crust of the moon Europa.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Galileo mission ended on Sept. 21, 2003, when the spacecraft was intentionally commanded to plunge into Jupiter’s atmosphere, where it was destroyed.

Detailed explanation-3: -NASA’s Galileo spacecraft carried an atmospheric entry probe that was released July 13, 1995, when the main spacecraft was still about 50 million miles (80 million kilometers) from Jupiter. The probe hit the atmosphere Dec. 7, 1995, and returned valuable data for 58 minutes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Galileo spacecraft arrived at Jupiter in 1995. It consisted of a probe to descend into the Jovian atmosphere and an orbiter to transmit pictures and other data from 11 scientific instruments. En route to the gas giant, it provided close-up images of two asteroids, Gaspra and Ida.

Detailed explanation-5: -Galileo was an American robotic space probe that studied the planet Jupiter and its moons, as well as the asteroids Gaspra and Ida. Named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, it consisted of an orbiter and an entry probe.

Detailed explanation-6: -Each image was taken using the clear filter, which results in a greyscale image. The image was colorized by aligning it with a lower resolution reprocessed global image of Europa (https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19048).
