Hubble reawakens, snaps image of Jupiter scar

Revamped Hubble telescope captured image of Jupiter's mysterious new scar
Scar was created when comet or asteroid plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere

The resulting picture, taken Thursday, is the sharpest visible-light photo of the dark spot and Hubble's first science observation since astronauts repaired and upgraded it in May, NASA said.

Earth-based telescopes have been trained on Jupiter since an amateur astronomer in Australia noticed the new mark, probably created when a small comet or asteroid plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere and disintegrated, early Monday.
