I had the incredible privilege of working/studying in the cosmic ray lab run by Ed Stone, chief scientist on Voyager. The campus used the auditorium to show images coming from the spacecraft as they arrived. Also classrooms with TVs. An expert was there to provide commentary. I remember Larry Soderblom being asked what to make of the first pic of Amalthea: "I have no idea."
What a machine. Incomparable.
