Hubble's famed mirror flaw was fixed in December of 1993. The flaw prevented the Space Telescope from seeing fine detail and kept us from seeing Neptune's weather change. Now that it has been restored to full working order the telescope can be used to monitor any future long term changes in Neptune's weather. The Hubble studies undertaken in June and October of 1994 will be complimented by additional observations of Neptune in the summer of 1995.
