[edit] WORLDS OF GALILEO
The story of the American space probe, Galileo, which has been studying Jupiter and its moons. It features first-hand testimonies from the men and women who were involved in making Galileo's odyssey happen, and there are over 100 colour images of the remarkable landscapes of Jupiter.
A magnificent close encounter with the giant Jupiter - most spectacular of our fellow planets. Half a billion miles away, a swirling mass of hurricanes and clouds, the king of the planets presides over a little group of worlds that has long dazzled astronomers. The Worlds of Galileo tells the extraordinary story of the American space probe, Galileo, that began studying Jupiter and its moons five years ago. The history of Galileo and its long space odyssey to the most dramatic comer of the Solar System is packed with first-hand testimonies from the men and women who made it happen. We go behind the scenes to learn how many times the project was saved from disaster before its ultimate triumph. Illustrated with over 100 colour images showing the harsh beauty and remarkable landscapes of the Jovian system, the book reveals the nature of the famous moonslo, a seething mass of volcanoes and glowing lava lakes, with the most bizarre landscape ever photographed, and Europa, its glistening ice crust creaking and flexing over the waters below, believed by many to be home to alien life.
