SL9a Comet:
The impact of Fragment A of the comet
Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter from Saturday
16/07/94. It consists of 100 frames taken with
the 3.5m telescope of the Max-Planck-Institut fuer
Astronomie on Calar Alto (Spain). It covers about
50min real time.
The bright object to the right is the closest
Galilean satellite Io, moving slowly towards
Jupiter and behind it. 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.
