... What work is currently being done to improve the flux calibration accuracy for echelle modes? ... Starting early in Cycle 11, monthly offsetting for echelle modes was turned off to minimize these types of calibration problems. ... We are currently working on redetermining the echelle flux calibration so that it is self-consistent with the 2-D scattered light algorithm. Time dependence of the sensitivity - Sensitivity-monitor data for the echelle modes are currently under investigation. ...

... We considered our current level of technology compared to that of an average alien civilization. Regardless of any modest value of L chosen?500 years, 5000 years, or longer?their level of technology is vastly advanced compared to ours. Thus, most science fiction gets it right by having advanced alien technology, but gets it wrong by not making them sufficiently advanced. ...

... Moon . ... What can astronomers tell us about the different colors on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa? ... We can use the colors of Europa s surface to tell us about the chemical compounds that make up the surface and subsurface of the jovian moon. Even before the first spacecraft made a close visit to Europa, astronomers on Earth used telescopes to study the moon and were able to use a technique called spectroscopy to determine that Europa s surface is composed mostly of water ice. ...
