Very interesting observation of a dark mark on Jupiter... it's starting to ripple out across Twitter...

Definitely looking forward to this first example of the improved capabilities with WFP3.

They repaired the ACS HRC, but it is much more complex to operate and would take much more time. At any rate, the WFC3, while having a much larger field of view than WFPC2, has significantly higher resolution than the PC chip in WFPC2, so this should be good.

Last I heard the last servicing mission wasn't able to do that. Were they able to do it from the ground via some software method? -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)
