It also sent back new data about Jupiter's Jovian radiation fields and found a "hot spot" of plasma, whose temperatures reach 300 million to 400 million degrees C. It even discovered a thin ring of debris around Jupiter, making it the third planet in the solar system (after Saturn and Uranus) known to have such a feature...

It took a closer look at Europa, which revealed an intricate lattice work of veinlike lines that may represent shallow fissures in an icy sea. Finally, Voyager 2 shifted its electronic gaze to lo, the innermost and most spectacular of the Galilean moons.

NASA wanted to put the station into a higher orbit than the one ended in Australia last week, but the money wasn't there...
