We obtained four images of the asteroid 4179 Toutatis during its close approach to the Earth on 10 December 1992 with the planetary camera of the Hubble Space Telescope. The distance between the Earth and Toutatis at the time of our observations was \(0.0291 \mathrm{AU}\left(4.35 \times 10^{6} \math
The Planetary Camera of the WFPC2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope was used in late 1994 to record 56 images of demonstrated that the photometric lightcurve of Vesta is Asteroid 4 Vesta in four compositionally diagnostic wavelength not due to shape and shadowing, as is the case for almost bands.
From diffraction-limited images produced by the near-IR camera NICMOS aboard the Hubble Space Telescope we derived maps of Titan's surface in the methane windows near 1.1, 1.6, and 2.0 ยตm. Each part of Titan's atmosphere and surface was imaged at least twice over a time period of 24 h to look for mo
