Galileos Jupiter probe speeding toward the planet
Galileo atmospheric probe approaching Jupiter. The Galileo spacecraft deployed this small atmospheric probe on July 13 1995. The probe will enter Jupiters atmosphere on 7 December 1995. As it slows rapidly from its 47 kilometres per second impact speed, the probe will deploy a parachute to further slow its descent. Over 75 minutes, the probe will relay measurements of the physical and chemical conditions of Jupiters atmosphere before finally being crushed by the increasing pressure. The Galileo spacecraft itself (not shown) will enter orbit at the same time to start a two-year exploration of the Jupiter system - the first visit to the giant planet since Voyager 2 in 1979

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when Galileo's Jupiter probe hurtles towards the massive planet, ready to embark on a groundbreaking mission. Deployed on July 13,1995, this small atmospheric probe is set to enter Jupiter's atmosphere on December 7 of the same year. With an initial speed of an astounding 47 kilometers per second, the probe will undergo rapid deceleration as it approaches its destination. To aid in its descent, a parachute will be deployed by the probe to further slow its velocity. Over a span of 75 minutes, this courageous explorer will transmit invaluable data about Jupiters' physical and chemical conditions before succumbing to the mounting pressure and being crushed. While this brave atmospheric probe carries out its daring task, it is important not to overlook that it is merely one part of a larger endeavor. The Galileo spacecraft itself remains unseen but enters orbit simultaneously with the probe's descent. This marks an extraordinary milestone as it commences a two-year exploration of Jupiter's system - marking humanity's first visit since Voyager 2 in 1979. The significance of this photograph lies not only in capturing Galileo's Jupiter probe speeding towards destiny but also in commemorating mankind's insatiable thirst for knowledge and our relentless pursuit of understanding distant worlds beyond our own.
