Tootfinder

35 years ago #OTD the #Hubble Space Telescope with its mishappen optics took this image of #Saturn - which could be sharpened a lot mathematically (as the paper https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1991ApJ...369L..51W later described) since the object was so bright. It's being said that this one image was used by NASA to convince key U.S. politicians that the broken satellite still had some life in it ... and so it was, for 35 years now!
