The video discusses the exploration of Jupiter, focusing on the Galileo mission. Initially, knowledge of Jupiter came from Earth-based telescopes. The Galileo spacecraft, launched in the 1980s, was the first to orbit Jupiter, providing detailed images and data. It carried a probe that descended into Jupiter's atmosphere, relaying information back to Earth. The video also covers the discovery of the comet Schumacher Levy 9, which collided with Jupiter, observed by Galileo. Over 14 years, Galileo made significant discoveries, including evidence of a liquid ocean beneath Europa's icy crust. The mission ended with Galileo's deliberate crash into Jupiter to avoid contaminating Europa.
