In this artist's impression, we witness a momentous encounter as Galileo gracefully passes an asteroid in the vast expanse of space. The image portrays Galileo's imminent departure from Earth, set to be launched by the space shuttle on October 12,1989. As Galileo ventures through the asteroid belt en route to Jupiter, it navigates with precision and caution, ensuring a safe passage while tantalizingly close to these celestial bodies. Although maintaining a distance of several million kilometers from any known asteroid, this fleeting rendezvous showcases humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration.
