Transcription: On March 25, 1993, Carolyn Shoemaker looked at a strange fuzzy object on photographs that David Levy and Jean Shoemaker had taken. She commented that it looked like a squashed comet, and this was the first anyone knew about the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. By the time it had been discovered by the Shoemakers and David Levy, the comet had been torn into 22 fragments by the immense gravitational forces of Jupiter.
