  Title: Artist concept of the Galileo spacecraft's Jovian atmospheric probe
  Description:
  Artist concept illustrates how the Galileo spacecraft's probe will enter 
  Jupiter's atmosphere.  The Galileo probe spacecraft's instrument descent 
  module "hangs in the shrouds" making the first direct measurements of 
  Jupiter's atmosphere.  The red-hot nose cone can be seen falling away as 
  lightning flashes nearby.
