In July 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into the planet Jupiter. It had been captured into a long elliptical orbit around Jupiter by the giant planet's gravity, probably in the 1930s. Then in 1992 it broke up into pieces and started to follow its collision course. Here you first watch part of the final track of the comet fragment called 'W'. Then imagine
are actually on this fragment as it hurtles towards Jupiter.
