Well, not Galileo Galilei's as you might have expected

It's been over 2 years since Galileo plunged into the depths of Jupiter's atmosphere. Those few last hours of real time data were supposed to be the closest measurements to Jupiter thus far (neglecting the atmospheric probe). As I recall, Galileo actually didn't go into safe mode as with so many other close passes so there's supposed to have been data collected all the way through the spacecraft's disappearance behind Jupiter's disk.

Were any surprises or interesting results found in the data collected? Any hints into irregularities of Jupiter's magnetic field or tantalizing stuff like that?

I deduct that during Galileo's descending into the atmosphere must have undergone the following events: cooler and even cooler until aproaching very low Kevin temperature...100, 50, 30 kevin, lots of thunderstorms that is 1,000 times larger than Earth, lots of lighting, strong winds of over 1,000 kmph, breathed a fresh amonia clouds, and was subjected by very great atmosphere pressure of over than 2,200 mbars.

It's going to be a sad day though.”

Then, due to the good lessons from Galileo, we will be back in the future.
