"Scientists were able to make incredibly precise calculations to place Galileo in exactly the right place, using Venus and the Earth in a 'crack-the-whip' maneuver to boost the probe's velocity to give it sufficient speed to make it all the way to Jupiter."

Even better, they found cobbles of volcanic ash containing minuscule crystals of a mineral known as zircon, possibly the most sensitive timepiece nature has yet invented...
