Hubble Space Telescope captures details of atmospheric debris in rare collision with Jupiter

So where is the picture?

This is the only one I can find on the Hubble site:

Thanks Hyack!

I love stuff like this... It's so surreal

The Hubble space space telescope has been the most efficient and effective project to look at the universe.

When you see a point of light that traveling at 300 M per second and the light that you see is coming from hundreds of light-years it is just beautiful.

I think your figure for the speed of light is a wee bit slow, it's not 300 M per second, that's about the speed of sound, (343 meters per second). The speed of light is more like 299,792,458 meters per second, just a slight difference of about 6 orders of magnitude.....

meters is m

million is Mega

I don't know what M is.

As she who shall not be named would say.....and here's a little blue star for you...



Good one, I missed that myself......

I stand corrected, as most Americans we are more used to saying 386,000 miles per second,but we need to join the rest the rest of the metric world, particulary in science.

So does Canada...

When I first moved here, I was told Canada was metric since 1970. In reality, my kids still learn imperial in school (in addition to metric) and basicly everything is imperial, except for the temp.
