In October 1989, NASA launched a spacecraft called Galileo toward Jupiter. Six years later, in December 1995, Galileo arrived at its destination. Along the way, Galileo grabbed some great shots of Earth, Venus, and the asteroid belt. Once in Jupiter's orbit, the spacecraft released a probe to gather more information about the planet and report back to Earth. The Galileo mission ended in 2003 when the spacecraft was deliberately crashed into Jupiter’s atmosphere in order to protect its discovery of a possible ocean on one of Jupiter’s moons.
