Abstract

In 1994 comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 captured the world’s attention. Discovered quite by accident, this comet was to provide the world the first direct observational evidence of an impact by one body on another body in the solar system. Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 put on a spectacular display. The comet ShoemakerLevy 9 fragments collided with Jupiter from July 16 through July 22, 1994. The glorious show put on by comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994 should continually remind us that the threat of impact from above is very real. We must be continually vigilant.
