Galileo spacecraft burning up in Jupiter
Galileo spacecraft burning up in Jupiters upper atmosphere, artwork. The Galileo spacecraft was launched in 1989, and entered orbit around Jupiter in 1995 to study the Jovian system. While in orbit it released a probe that found that Jupiters atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium. It also made detailed studies of some of Jupiters moons (one seen). Just over 1 metre wide, the spacecraft sent back a huge amount of scientific data about the Jovian system. When it ran out of fuel, it could have crashed into and contaminated a Jovian moon. To avoid this, it was crashed into Jupiters upper atmosphere on 21 September 2003

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the final moments of the Galileo spacecraft as it burns up in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. Launched in 1989, this remarkable space probe entered orbit around Jupiter in 1995 with a mission to study the Jovian system. The Galileo spacecraft was equipped with advanced instruments that allowed it to make groundbreaking discoveries about our solar system's largest planet. One of its notable achievements was releasing a probe into Jupiter's atmosphere, which revealed that it is predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, Galileo conducted detailed studies of several moons orbiting Jupiter, one of which can be seen in this mesmerizing print. Measuring just over 1 meter wide, the Galileo spacecraft transmitted an immense amount of scientific data back to Earth during its exploration mission. However, when its fuel reserves were depleted, crashing into and potentially contaminating one of Jupiters' moons became a concerning possibility. To prevent any harm or interference with these celestial bodies, on September 21st, 2003, scientists made the decision to intentionally crash the spacecraft into Jupiter's upper atmosphere. This dramatic act ensured that no harm would come to any Jovian moon while concluding an extraordinary chapter in our understanding of this gas giant and its surrounding environment. This awe-inspiring illustration serves as a reminder not only of humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge but also our responsibility towards preserving and respecting other worlds within our vast universe.
