Hubble Observations Shed New Light on Jupiter Collision . Was it a comet or an asteroid? ... Their initial findings, combined with results from other space-borne and ground-based telescopes, shed new light on Jupiter's atmospheric winds, its immense magnetic field, the mysterious dark debris from the impacts, and the composition of the doomed comet itself. ... Hubble's ultraviolet observations show the motion of very fine impact debris particles now suspended high in Jupiter's atmosphere. ...

... The related observations clearly evidence both global motions and turbulence in the upper Jovian atmosphere. Keywords: solar system, giant planets, atmospheres, Jupiter . To explain both an upper atmospheric thermal excess observed in the Jupiter atmosphere by the Voyager missions and a permanent enhancement of the H Ly- brightness observed near the equator (Clarke et al. ... These Doppler shifts appear as being the signature of global H motions in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter. ...

... 1994: . As a result of comparing the spectra of active solar regions from the observations with high spatial resolution in the microwave range at the RATAN-600 (the S-component) with a flare component observed at meter wavelengths on the VLA (USA) we revealed the presence of a strong and prolonged noise storm exactly where a weak decaying active region (with the presence of powerful active regions in the disk) is located. ...

Next: The main observational parameters Up: Spectral survey of Case Previous: CCD observations and data . ... We divided the presentation of the observed galaxies into the two main groups. In Tables 2 and 3 we give some general parameters, line intensities and equivalent widths for 142 galaxies with the detected emission lines. We summarize data in Table 4 for the rest 44 galaxies where we have not detected emission lines (in the blue part of the spectrum). ... Quasar CG 273 . ...

... Comet Tutorial . ... On July 1, 1993 an image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that clearly shows at least 15 individual fragments in one image frame of the train. ... This made an accurate orbit (or orbits) difficult to determine; however, after numerous observations of the comet, astronmers determined that the comet had passed within 96,000 kilometers (60,000 miles) of the center of Jupiter or 25,000 kilometers (16,000 miles) from the cloud tops during the July 8, 1992, approach. ...
