The impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter
Comet Shoemaker-Levy/Jupiter collision. Infrared image (2.12 microns) of the impact sites (from left to right) of fragments A, E, F, H, D and G of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter. They are seen as bright patches in the bottom part of the Jovian disc between the south polar region and the Great Red Spot (brightest patch at lower centre). Only four impact sites are here visible because fragments E/F and fragments D/G hit the planet in nearly the same place. The image was taken on July 20th 1994 at 04:20 GMT. Fragment A collided with Jupiter on July 16th 1994 at 19:54 GMT and fragment H on July 18th at 19:26 GMT

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter, showcasing the sheer power and magnitude of this celestial collision. Infrared imaging at a wavelength of 2.12 microns reveals the distinct bright patches on the Jovian disc, marking the impact sites from left to right: fragments A, E, F, H, D, and G. Located between Jupiter's south polar region and its iconic Great Red Spot (the brightest patch at lower center), these luminous marks serve as a testament to the cataclysmic event that unfolded in July 1994. Only four impact sites are visible here since fragments E/F and D/G struck nearly identical locations on the planet's surface. The image itself was captured on July 20th at precisely 04:20 GMT; however, it is important to note that fragment A collided with Jupiter earlier on July 16th at 19:54 GMT while fragment H followed suit two days later at 19:26 GMT. This extraordinary photograph not only showcases an exceptional moment in astronomical history but also highlights humanity's ability to capture such rare occurrences through scientific advancements. It serves as a reminder of our continuous exploration into space and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about distant worlds beyond our own.
