GSC Update:
*After 14 years of extensive and groundbreaking research, the Galileo space probe will be de-orbited into Jupiter, Sunday, September 21st. The craft will be incinerated and crushed by the extreme heat and pressure of the gas giant's atmosphere. In it's mission, Galileo has overcome instrument failures and rocket problems to produce some of the most detailed and in-depth studies of Jupiter and it's 4 critical moons ( Io, Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede [the so called "Galilean" moons, named after Galileo himself, who first discovered them with his homemade telescope in 1610]). Active volcanoes and liquid water were discovered on some of Jupiter's moons. Galileo was the successor to the rediculously successful Voyager spacecraft. Goodbye, Galileo.
