Galileo Mission Ends with Dive Into Jupiter
伽利略號撞向木星*

（Reuters） - NASA 's Galileo space probe made a controlled, fiery crash into Jupiter on Sunday, ending a 14-year mission that yielded dramatic discoveries about the largest planet and its moons. The space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California received the final signal from the spacecraft at 3:43 p.m. EDT, the laboratory said in a statement.

More than 1,000 people who worked on the Galileo program gathered at the laboratory to celebrate the end of the mission. Team member Rosaly Lopes described the farewell celebration as bittersweet. Launched from space shuttle Atlantis in 1989, Galileo traveled about 2.8 billion miles before it disintegrated in Jupiter's dense atmosphere on Sunday.

Galileo orbited Jupiter 34 times and obtained the first direct measurements of its atmosphere by sending a probe parachuting down toward the planet in 1995. It detected evidence of underground salt-water oceans beneath the icy crusts of Jupiter's moon Europe.
