Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 splash on Jupiter
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9/Jupiter collision. Colour image made by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) of the large impact site of Fragment G of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. The impact occurred at 07.28 GMT on 18 July 1994. The impact site (or splash ) is seen here as the complex dark circular feature just below centre. The impact site is a dark brown spot, around which are two crescent-shaped arcs. The lone dark spot immediately to the left of the G impact is the site of the earlier D event (11.42 GMT, 17 July)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter, leaving a remarkable impact site. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), this color image showcases the aftermath of Fragment G's collision with the gas giant on July 18,1994, at 07:28 GMT. The impact site is prominently displayed as a complex dark circular feature just below the center of the photograph. It appears as a dark brown spot surrounded by two crescent-shaped arcs. This mesmerizing scene serves as a testament to the immense power and destructive force unleashed during this celestial event. Notably, another dark spot can be observed to the left of Fragment G's impact site. This marks the location where an earlier collision occurred known as Event D, which took place on July 17 at 11:42 GMT. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, we are reminded of both our insignificance in comparison to these cosmic forces and our insatiable curiosity about our universe. The study of such events not only deepens our understanding of planetary dynamics but also fuels our fascination with space exploration and cosmology. This print from Science Photo Library allows us to marvel at nature's grandeur and appreciate how even seemingly distant phenomena have profound implications for our knowledge of existence beyond Earth's boundaries.
