Second Star to the Right, and Straight on Till Morning,vura performance had captured the imagination of our world, and as S-L 9 prepared for its grand finale, newspaper editorials and cartoons noticed the magic of its troubled course. “Jupiter and Shoemaker-Levy 9 made cosmologists of us all,” wrote Michael Skube in the Atlanta Constitution, “witnesses to the greatest show not on Earth.”.

Of Comets, Planets, and People,and Pluto. It is possible that Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was once a member of this sphere. It is also possible that the comet was once a lot closer to the Sun, either in a ribbon of comets past Neptune and Pluto that we call the Kuiper Belt or even closer to Earth mixed in among the asteroids.

The Planet King, how giant a planet Jupiter really is. More than 92 percent of all the material in the solar system, except the Sun, is part of Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter has 318 times the mass of the Earth, and 11 times its diameter. We pause now to learn about this central figure in our comet crash story.

Shoemaker-Levy 9 Returns, During the intermission that followed, the comet fragments began to speed up as they left apojove, or the farthest point of their orbit about Jupiter. On July 16, 1993, they started creeping back toward Jupiter from a distance of 50 million kilometers, at a speed that would increase very slowly until the last weeks before collision.

Expressly

About Comets,Periodic Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was about as far from being a normal comet as you could get. Its resemblance to a string of pearls and its orbit about Jupiter made it unlike anything we have seen in the comet world. But to appreciate a very unusual comet, it helps to know a little about what garden variety comets look like and how they behave.

A Disabled Ship,Like a disabled ship heading helplessly for a barrier reef, Shoemaker-Levy 9 hurtled toward Jupiter. Crash week was approaching fast, and thanks to a stunning series of comet portraits sent down from the Hubble Space Telescope early in 1994, public interest was booming. The first of the 1994 images came at the end of January.
