Fragment A collision movie |
Calar Alto Observatory in Spain |
This
is a beta release of a movie of the Fragment A collision from Saturday 16/07/94.
It consists of 55 frames taken on Calar Alto (Spain). The bright object to the right is the closest Galilean satellite Io, moving slowly towards Jupiter. The fainter oval structure in the southern hemisphere is the well-known Great Red Spot. The impact appears above the southeast (lower left) limb of the planet. The bright spots near the Great Red Spot appearing in some frames are not real, but bad pixels, they will be corrected in the final release of the movie. |
