Public domain film from NASA, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied. The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original). creativecommons.org en.wikipedia.org Galileo was an orbiter and entry probe for Jupiter mdash;an unmanned NASA spacecraft which studied planet Jupiter and its moons, as well as the several other solar system bodies. Named after Renaissance astronomer Galileo Galilei, it launched on October 18, 1989 carried by Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-34. It arrived at Jupiter on December 7, 1995, after gravitational assist flybys of Venus and Earth, and became the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter. It launched the first probe into Jupiter, directly measuring its atmosphere. Despite suffering antenna problems Galileo achieved the first asteroid flyby, of 951 Gaspra, and discovered the first asteroid moon, Dactyl, around 243 Ida. Mission cost was about US$1.4 billion. Jupiter #39;s atmospheric composition and ammonia clouds were recorded, the clouds possibly created by outflows from the lower depths of the atmosphere. Io #39;s volcanism and plasma interactions with Jupiter #39;s atmosphere was also recorded. Data it collected supported the theory ...
