Title:[3032] Infrared image of Jupiter with Comet SL9 C, A and E impact sites Caption:Infrared image of Jupiter taken on 17 July 1994 showing the impact sites of fragments C, A and E (left to right) of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 as bright spots in Jupiter's southern hemisphere. The brightest spot in front of Jupiter is the moon Io and Europa is to the right of Jupiter. Copyright: Credit:South African Astronomical Observatory

Title:[3033] of Jupiter showing Comet SL9 D and G impact sites (HST) Caption:The large dark spot surrounded by concentric rings was created by the impact of fragment G of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on 18 July 1994. The largest ring is about the size of Earth. The smaller dark spot to the left marks the site of fragment D's impact on 17 July. The image was taken about 1 hour 45 minutes after the impact of fragment G. Copyright: Credit:H. Hammel and NASA

Title:[3035] D and G impact sites on Jupiter in visible and IR light (HST) Caption:In each image, the large spot surrounded by concentric rings was created by the impact of fragment G of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on 18 July 1994. The largest ring is about the size of Earth. The smaller spot to the left marks the site of fragment D's impact on 17 July. The left image was taken in visible light through a green filter; the right image through a near infrared filter sensitive to methane. The impact site appears bright in this image due to sunlight reflected off material high above the methane cloud layers in Jupiter's atmosphere. Copyright: Credit: H. Hammel and NASA

Title:[3036] Aurora on Jupiter following impact of Comet SL9 K fragment (HST) Caption:Forty-five minutes after the impact of fragment K of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in Jupiter's southern hemisphere, the Hubble Space Telescope detected an aurora at the corresponding latitude in the northern hemisphere. This was presumably caused by electrically charged particles released in the impact being guided along Jupiter's magnetic field lines, shown superimposed on this image.

Title:[3037] IR image of Q1 comet fragment impact site on Jupiter Caption:An infrared image of Jupiter taken at the peak of the fireball created by the impact of fragment Q1 of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter on 20 July 1994. The L and Q impact sites are also visible. Copyright:South African Astronomical Observatory Credit:South African Astronomical Observatory

Title:[3038] IR image of Jupiter after impact of comet fragment R Caption:An infrared image of Jupiter taken with the University of Hawaii's 2.2-meter telescope on 21 July 1994, 75 minutes after the impact of fragment R of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. The R impact site is the third from the left in the belt of bright spots created by the comet impacts in Jupiter's southern hemisphere. The bright circular spot at the upper left is the moon Io.

Title:[3039] Jupiter with 8 comet impact sites visible (HST) Caption:This Hubble Space Telescope image of Jupiter in visible light shows a total of 8 impact sites created by the fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. From left to right they are: E/F complex (barely visible), the star-shaped H site, tiny N site, Q1, Q2 (small), R and the D/G complex on the far right.

Title:[3040] UV image of Jupiter with 8 comet impact sites visible (HST) Caption:Eight impact sites of the fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 are visible and labeled in this ultraviolet image of Jupiter taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. Copyright: Credit:HST Comet Impact Team and NASA

Title:[3041] Plume from impact of comet fragment W on Jupiter (HST) Caption:A sequence of images showing the development of the plume created when fragment W of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 struck Jupiter on 22 July 1994. Each image was taken through a different colored filter. Copyright: Credit:HST Comet Impact Team and NASA

Title:[3042] Impact of W fragment of Comet SL9 seen from Galileo spacecraft Caption:The flash created by the impact of fragment W of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 as seen through a green filter from the Galileo spacecraft which was in a position where it could view the impact directly.

Title:[3043] Location of comet impact sites on Jupiter as viewed from Earth and Galileo Caption:As seen from Earth, the impacts on Jupiter of the fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 took place just out of view on the far side of Jupiter, though it was possible to see the plumes created rising over the limb and the sites rotated into view within a few minutes of each impact. The Galileo spacecraft was located in space where it could view the impact sites directly. Copyright: Credit:NASA
