I think it was the one Lowell himself used to sketch "canals" on Mars. That night it was aimed at Jupiter. And, yeah, seeing the bands and the Red Spot with your own eyes hits different.

If this causes me to have a heart attack I'm semi ok with that. https://youtu.be/la8dLLsuG9g an Astronomer disecting a bit of the first image. She's the appropriate level of excitement. Highly recommend. Confusedslight fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jul 12, 2022 |

Pookah posted:It really is too much. I had an astro teacher who was way into it when I took it as an elective in community college, and he did a real-deal 2-part course and lab. One time he asked us to go to the UNM observatory for extra credit (recommended!) on amateur day. Not only did I get to look at an experiment guys were doing, but Saturn and 4 moons were up and the rings were pointed directly at us. Some guy with a 16x cannon scope he ground the glass for and built from scratch would sight it for you, then just track it by hand while you looked at Saturn with 4 bright rear end, resolving as circles dots around it. I can't imagine what people thought the first times they saw that through telescopes, especially looking at Saturn, all the times they were invented; because it's really loving mindblowing to see Saturn's rings staring at you with a stark shadow across the planet, with 4 planets just there.

Really does seem like going to over it's life time make a big change in what we know about the universe.

Hubble was 80's tech, Webb took so long partly because tech changed so fast during its development, in every aspect from electronics, to sensors to rockets. Everything hit a point everyone was comfortable with and now here we are.
