What Happens to the First Spacecraft That Tries to Enter Jupiter?

The largest planet in the solar system is made almost entirely of gas, and in nineteen ninety-five we dropped a small machine straight into its clouds at more than a hundred thousand miles an hour. For fifty-eight minutes it fell, and transmitted, and then it went quiet. What was it falling toward, all the way down? Tonight we follow it in — across the long dark to Jupiter, through the fastest entry any machine has ever survived, and down past the point where its voice gave out, into layers no instrument has ever touched. Get comfortable and let this long fall into the biggest planet in the solar system carry you off to sleep. Subscribe to Space After Midnight if you like drifting off somewhere very far from Earth.
