Did you know that much of our knowledge about Jupiter and its moons comes from the Galileo spacecraft? Galileo spent almost eight years orbiting Jupiter and even dropped a probe below the planet's clouds to study its atmosphere, before eventually melting in the intense heat.

Check out this amazing image captured by Galileo, featuring Jupiter's Great Red Spot and its four largest moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto! 🚀🪐🛰️🌠 #NASA #SpaceExploration #Jupiter #GalileoMission

Lovely video on the Galileo mission.

“Saving Galileo” is the story of how NASA’s Galileo mission - designed, built, and operated by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory - was kept alive despite a multitude of technical challenges. It is also the story of a tight-knit team of scientists and engineers who were forged by adversity into what many came to call a family."
