Im amazed they got off there schedule for relasing the next images in september(Congrats on having your discovery as the first WFC3 image). Theres also a jupiter impact team.......looks like they have lost there job to Anthony!Good impact image though.
Nice work Andrew, I have some data from last night but I'm starting to get way behind in processing... the HST images are fantastic, I hope they plan to do more followups.

cheers, Bird
It's nice to see them having to use Hubble to check Anthony's work
Isn’t the timing just sweet, the repair team of the HST must be well pleased with these results, job well done to them. And in a way they have bird to thank for providing the event to help validate the ongoing need for Hubble and its maintaince as well as the space program in general. This renewed interest in space exploration could not come at a better time and a week filled with other aniversaries for the space program. 40 yearas ago man walks on the moon, 40 years later we get the first pictures of the traks they left behind, 15 years ago a comet strikes Jupiter, 15 years later another body strikes Jupiter, a Historic week. HST repaired just in time to take its first image, that is acknowledged by the polticians of the nation. All eyes turn to space again, we look again we are inspired again.
One small step for a man from Murrumbateman, one vast leap for the space program. And lets not forgot that in the recent past we have had several Amateur Astronomers from Australia take that one small step. From Terry's Comets using DSLR cameras, to storms on Saturn by Trevor. Hats of to you guys that take these small steps that inspires the rest of us to make vast leaps.
Good impact image though.
