Thank you for the link.

It seems Galileo was deliberately burned up. This is NASA’s forte, but it is not a joke to recognize that an orbiting probe in a foreign moon system is not going to last long.

I am just wondering if earth-orbit imagery wouldn’t surpass what would be obtained by an older probe. Duration of study would be an easy win. Voyager saw volcanic eruptions on Io, for instance. I wonder if orbiting telescopes could do as well.
