This data set collection contains observations of Jupiter during the Comet    
Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact events by the Hubble Space Telescope in July 1994.    
These data consist of images by the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2).    
                                                                              
The data are included in FITS format. There are a number of software          
packages that exist which will read FITS files, two of which are IRAF         
and IDL. Information about these two packages can be found at                 
http://iraf.noao.edu and http://www.rsinc.com respectively.                   
                                                                              
In the DOCUMENT directory are explanatory text files as well as digitized     
versions of the manuals that are in Postscript form with figures.             
All document files and detached labels contain an 80-byte fixed length        
record, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and line feed (ASCII 10) as the     
79th and 80th byte respectively.   All the tabular files in the INDEX         
directory are formatted according to PDS standards.   It should be            
noted that the index tables are formatted so that they may be read directly   
into many database management systems.   All fields are separated by commas,  
and character fields are enclosed in double quotes (").                       
                                                                              
The documents in the DOCUMENT directory and sections reproduced in the        
CATALOG directory include material created with support to Space Telescope    
Science Institute, operated by the Association of Universities for Research   
in Astronomy, Inc., from NASA contract NAS5-26555, and is reproduced here
