In its third year in orbit about Jupiter, the Galileo spacecraft continues to return intriguing images of the Jovian system to Earth. Scientists from the Galileo imaging team will present the latest results at a press briefing on Monday, January 18th in Berlin, Germany. The event is being hosted by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Berlin where Galileo imaging team members from the DLR are working in collaboration with team members from the U.S.A. and Canada as they strive to unveil the mysteries of the Jovian system including the enigma of whether an ocean exists on Jupiter's moon Europa.
