Galileo and Jupiter

[ElPelado]

I have a simple question: how can the Galileo probe crash into Jupiter? Jupiter has no surface so? I think that maybe it will desintegrate in the atmosphere, but not crash. Am I right?

Yeah.. i think it would desintegrate in the atmosphere... but i've read that jupiter has a ocean of liquid metallic hidrogen in it's core
