It landed on Jupiter on December 7, 1995. The spacecraft Galileo has been traveling in space for six years to get to Jupiter. It is a crewless ship. Galileo left Earth October, 1989. Cameras aboard Galileo will take pictures of Jupiter and transmit, or send the images to the waiting orbiter, Atlantis.
Scientists hope to learn more about the weather patterns on Earth.
Scientists also hope to learn about the formation of our solar system by studying Jupiter and its moons. In our class we are making needle point projects and they are very neat. We can make boxes, baskets, picture frames, and many more things. We are doing animal classification in science, we are studying the thirteen colonies in social studies, and we are reading Winter Camp, a sequel to Toughboy and Sister. Room 21 hopes you have an enjoyable time with family and friends over winter break.
