The Impact Event on Jupiter in 2009
An image of Jupiter taken on 19 July 2009 at 15 UT showed an anomalous feature in southern hemisphere. The world-wide community responded with observations, and the subsequent data strongly suggest that an impact occurred during the 8 hours preceding that discovery image. The Hubble Space Telescope is the only facility that can provide high-spatial-resolution visible images of the impact site, and the only facility that can provide UV iamges that show the impactor's effect on the jovian stratosphere. We request 7 orbits of HST time to characterize this rare event. We hope that two orbits can be as soon as is feasible (Wednesday or Thursday, 22 or 23 July). We would like a second pair several days later, perhaps Saturday. We request another 2 orbits the following week. The last, seventh, orbit can be several weeks or a month later.
