... ) was used on HST, it provided a broader wavelength coverage and better sensitivity than its former spectrograph, and at lower spectral resolution. FOS consisted of two separate channels; the blue and the red channel had its own 512-element Digicon detector. These channels covered roughly 1150 to 5500 angstroms respective from about 1700 to 8500 angstroms. Between them they provided constant spectral coverage ... : Comet Shoemaker-Levi 9 impacted Jupiter in a dramatic series of collisions that were captured in vivid detail. In the spring of 1996 comet Hyakutake passed within 9.3 million m...
