Hello all !
The HST has captured a rare event in the Uranian system - a shadow transit of one of its moons ! In this case the moon Ariel transits: http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/...2006/42/image/a Robert |

This is really a great picture ! And it is just the beginning.
The coming years might really be interesting, and this shows that Hubble is still needed. I hope NASA will manage a mission to repare it. Marc. |
