Despite NASA's repeated instructions to the Hubble to look for evidence of water on distant planets, the telescope continued to produce more and more self-portraits, posting them to its Instagram and Twitter accounts along with the hashtag #pimpin.

Leuschner Observatory's 30 inches telescope continues to be regularly used in undergraduate astronomical instruction, while the 20 inches telescope was decommissioned and is in disrepair.
Months later Earth-based infrared telescopes continued to detect dark markings on Jupiter at the planetary latitudes of the impact sites.
He also improved telescope tubes, constructing them of wood rather than of cardboard covered with leather; though somewhat unwieldy, these designs proved durable, and wooden telescopes continued in use until the 19th century.
But in a measure of how efficiently telescopes have begun plumbing the deepest reaches of the cosmos, astronomers on the project, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, said they could break their own record within days or weeks as their telescope continued its sweep across the sky.
This strategy continues today.
Imaging by focusing X-ray optics enables a more forgiving orbit configuration for observation, and focusing telescopes can continue to accumulate useful data throughout the mission (R (_{rm T})/R (_{rm O}) (lesssim) 300 for global measurements, R (_{rm T})/R (_{rm O}) (lesssim) 100 for mapping).
In 1925, the observatory obtained glass discs for a new 13-inch wide-field telescope to continue the search, constructed with funds from George Lowell, Percival's brother.
In addition, remote sensing of Mars from Earth by ground-based and orbiting telescopes has continued across much of the electromagnetic spectrum.
