This program performs 3 HST orbits of solar system observations selected by students involved in thePassport to Knowledge program. There will be 1 orbit of FOC observations of Pluto and 2 orbits of WFPC2observations of Neptune. Neptune's atmosphere is extremely dynamic. With a series of images, we willdetermine a relaxation time for changes in vertical aerosol structure by observing Neptune at the samewavelengths as was done in Cycle 4 and Cycle 5. Specifically, we propose to obtain images of Neptune withthe Planetary Camera at wavelengths from 410 to 889 nanometers. We will model the aerosol structure bymeasuring both the general center-to-limb behavior as a function of latitude, and the wavelength-dependentreflectivity of discrete features. If Neptune's clouds have changed yet again, we will study the newstructure. The data are part of an educational program called Live from Hubble Space Telescope, and thatparticipation drive s some of the timing of the observations.
