   Jupiter question

   From: thelarry_g3@yahoo.com   
      
   Here's a question I've always wondered about.  How come no space probe (that   
   I'm aware of) has taken photos inside Jupiter's (or any of the large   
   planets') atmosphere?  Or at least photos from a very low orbit.   
      
   I think this would be fascinating.  Is it because the atmospheric   
   temperature would melt the probe/camera before it reached the low orbit   
   and/or descent?  Are there any known plans to send a probe that could   
   withstand the extreme temps (or gravity?) to achieve such a feat?
