The journery has been long, but the goal is clear. On December 7, 1995, after a six-year journey, Galileo will arrive at Jupiter, fly by Europa and Io, and begins its mission in the Jovian system. That same day Galileo's probe will enter the atmosphere of Jupiter and for the first time explore beneath the planet's cloud tops. Join us for an exciting evening that will include:

A direct link with the Blue Room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for real-time updates on the spacecraft's orbit insertion and probe's decent into Jupiter's atmosphere;
A retrospective look at all of Galileo's encounters en route to Jupiter: Earth, Venus, and the asteroids Gaspra and Ida. We'll also review images of the impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 into Jupiter;
An update on the spacecraft's status and plans for science;
A preview of what's in store during Galileo's two-year mission to Jupiter and its moons.

Our speakers include Torrence Johnson, Chief Scientist of the Galileo Project, and Carl Sagan, President of the Planetary Society. Members of the Galileo Project Team will also join us electronically from JPL's Blue Room and in Beckman Auditorium with mission updates. An audience question-and-answer session will conclude the evening.
