Comet Shoemaker-Levy Home Page (JPL)

From July 16 through July 22, 1994, pieces of Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. It was the first time a collision between two solar system bodies had ever been observed, and the effects of the comet impacts on Jupiter’s atmosphere were spectacular. Scattered down this page are links to about 1500 images taken by various telescopes and spacecraft of this unique celestial collision.
