"Jupiter is one of the brightest planets in our night sky and by far the largest in the Solar System. What the Romans called the "Father of the Sky" is huge -its diameter is more than ten times Earth's, and its mass is well over twice the total of all the rest of the planets in the Solar System. Yet, in spite of its staggering size, its position relatively close to us, and its prominent place in our myths and imagination, Jupiter has remained one of the most enigmatic of our planetary neighbors. This book tells the story of the Galileo space probe and the astonishing things it has told us about Jupiter. By the end of its mission, Galileo will have traveled an extraordinary 2,8 billion miles and sent back more than 15 000 images of astonishing detail."
"We are at the dawn of a new era in the study of space, all thanks to the Galileo space probe. Mission Jupiter brings us the exciting story of the Galileo mission to investigate Jupiter. The noted astronomer Daniel Fischer, co-author of Hubble: A New Window to the Universe and Hubble Revisited: New Images from the Discovery Machine, weaves together the many disparate facts learned about Jupiter and its satellites into a coherent description of this most fascinating planet, after stepping back to review the history of planetary exploration. Mission Jupiter tells the entire story of Galileo: a behind-the-scenes look at its difficult course from idea to reality; its launch; the problems it encountered early on and how these were resolved; and finally, what will become of the probe. Along the way, the author describes what wee learned about Jupiter, including what the Jovian atmosphere is really like, and the peculiar reality of the planet's magnetic field. The story of the journey to Jupiter is combined with interesting details about Galileo's capacities and a graphic description of the solar system, with an entertaining episode on how Galileo would judge the chances of finding life on Earth. The book concludes with a look to the future, closing on the Cassini probe to Saturn, launched just last year. Beautifully illustrated and well written, Mission Jupiter shows us space exploration at its best and conveys the essential science clearly and vividly. '"
