The cover: Jupiter, giant of the Sun's planetary family, is shown suspended over a background picture of its own surrealistic atmosphere near the famous red spot. The NASA Galileo spacecraft arrived on 7 December 1995 and began an amazing scientific exploration of Jupiter's atmosphere, magnetoshere, and moons. the lines depict the approach of Galileo to Jupiter and the resulting orbital tour now being conducted through the Jovian environment. Having successfully returned data from the first probe ever to penetrate Jupiter's (or any outer planet's) atmosphere, Galileo now is returning new data from the magnetosphere and from a series of very close flybys of the Galilean moons. An APL perspective of the 20 years taken to reach the present stage of the mission is described in the article by D. J. Williams in this issue. (Cover illustration by Kenneth R. Moscati.)
