EUVE OBSERVATORY SEES FIRST LIGHT

The seven detectors of the EUVE Observatory were turned on
succesfully one hour ago and obtained their first images
of the EUV sky. All detectors are operating well, with
the background in all detectors counting at
low count rates. The geocoronal 304 A and interplanetary
584 A glow were detected at nominal count rates in the
spectrometer. The first in orbit calibrations will begin
tomorrow.

The deadline for Guest Observer proposals is July 1 -
get your proposals in !! EUVE is operational.
