Shoemaker Levy 9 G Impact Site on Jupiter
This mosaic of images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope's WFPC-2 instrument shows the evolution of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 G impact site on Jupiter. The images from lower left to upper right show: the impact plume at July 18, 1994 07:38 UT (about 5 minutes after the impact); the fresh impact site at July 18, 1994 at 09:19 UT (1.5 hours after impact); the impact site after evolution by the winds of Jupiter (left), along with the L impact (right), taken on July 21, 1994 at 6:22 UT (3 days after the G impact and 1.3 days after the L impact); and further evolution of the G and L sites due to winds and an additional impact (S) in the G vicinity, taken on July 23, 1994 at 08:08 UT (5 days after the G impact).
