About Galileo: In 1989 we sent an emissary to Jupiter, and for 14 years, the Galileo Orbiter was our eyes and our ears, unraveling the mystery of the giant planet and its many satellites. On September 21, 2003, the craft left the orbit of Jupiter and flew directly into the planet. It was destroyed upon entering the atmosphere. Performed in front of images and animations created by the orbiter and its team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, this rock opera was Galileo’s story told in song and seen through its own eyes.
