Abit disappointing considering Hubble's usual capacity for resolution, but the WFC-3 has not yet been calibrated properly. Good to see the refurbished Hubble going again though.

Taken of the suspected Comet impact on Jupiter a few days ago.

Better Jupiter than us!

Yeh, I saw this on the BBC News website too. It's excellent resolution, much better than when Hubble looked at Jupiter for the Shoemaker Levy 9 impact on Jupiter. This one was taken with the new WFC-3 'scope on Hubble though.
