More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - for the first time, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured time-lapse images of a large, dark storm on Neptune shrinking out of existence.
A recent Hubble program called Outer Planets Atmosphere Legacy, or OPAL, provides yearly global maps of our gas giant planets, allowing planetary scientists to view changes in formations such as Neptune's dark storms.

More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - some of the first and highest resolution images acquired by the Color and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter on November 22, 2016.
The first image sequence shown was taken at a distance of 5300 km with a resolution of 60 m/pixel, about 44 minutes before closest approach. It illustrates how CaSSIS acquires data by taking images in color simultaneously: at panchromatic, red, near-infrared and blue wavelengths.
A 3D reconstruction of a small area in Noctis Labyrinthus is also presented, based on a stereo pair of images taken, and presented with an altitude map with a resolution of less than 20 m.
Next, a spectacular high-resolution image sequence acquired during closest approach of 235 km altitude is presented. At this time, the spacecraft was flying over the Hebes Chasma region. The highest resolution data acquired is at 2.8 m/pixel. The flyover is shown at half the speed at which the data were acquired.
Then, an image swath about 25 km wide is shown of Arisa Chasmata, which is located on the flanks of a large volcano on Mars named Arsia Mons.
Finally, a close up of a 1.4 km-diameter crater sitting in the rim of a much larger crater near the Mars equator is presented. This image was acquired at 7.2 m/pixel.

More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - to many, Hubble is best known for its stunning images of celestial objects, but among astronomers it is admired for the valuable data it delivers.
Hubble has helped revolutionise astronomy, including: shedding light on dark matter and dark energy, lifting the veil on black holes, and peering into the dusty regions around stars to image exoplanets.
This new Hubblecast is the second part of an exploration of some of Hubble’s most important discoveries throughout its history.
