Boooo
. I hear Hubble won't be looking during impact.
It will however, 10 mins afterwards by pointing its STIS instrument at Saturn. STIS combines a camera with a spectrograph, and covers a wide range of wavelengths from the near-infrared region into the ultraviolet. So I guess doing a study on the aftermath. I've no idea why it won't be looking just beforehand as well
.
Here's some observing resources put together by my friend Padma Yanamandra-Fisher and Ralph Lorenz. Padma is a planetary scientist with Space Institute and does a lot of pro-am work and outreach efforts and I've been helping her out for years. So, if by any chance, anyone observes anything, would you pleeeeease message me and I will tell you where to send the information, thanks. I hope the pics come out large enough to read, if not, download and enlarge them?
Meanwhile, here's the link for the live streaming which will start at 9pm AEST. https://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/...true#streaming
And don't forget we have an Events section running over on our facebook page with lots of updates
.
Ooops and nearly forgot to mention that I've been told Canberra DSN is keeping the dishes pointed and receiving for an extra 90 mins after LOS just in case there are any unexpected late signals
