For a period of about six days centered on July 19, 1994, fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet. ... Scientists and amateur astronomers through the world spent anxious days watching the comet fragments smash into the atmosphere. ... This section offers some background material on Jupiter , comets , and what scientists learned when Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. Table of Contents Section 1 ...

... Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer Instrument Handbook for Cycle 17 > Appendix D: Techniques for Dithering, Background Measurement andMapping > D.1 Introduction . ... Multiple exposures with small offsets in the pointing of the telescope between exposures are recommended for NICMOS observations. ... It is strongly advised that provision for direct measurement of the background be included in proposals whenever observations at wavelengths greater than 1.7?m are performed. ...

Experiment COLD . ... JSEC Astronomy . ... The entire project was called "Experiment Cold". ... The best radiometer (in terms of fluctuation sensitivity) known to us, based on a parametric amplifier with a closed-cycle helium cooling system, was used in the experiment; measures were taken to "cool" the radio telescope itself; and a method of controlling the numerous sources of interference was carefully thought out. ...
