  1. 30 years ago #OTD the week-long sequence of impacts of comet #ShoemakerLevy9 into #Jupiter ended: here are some drawings of the aftermath I made on 1994 July 22 to 24 with a 16-inch reflector in Chile. Reproduced from a printed newsletter I published at the time: see facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/p for the first three issues in full that came out after my return from Chile (and before embarking on another overseas trip, to the U.S. this time ... what an exciting era).

  3. 30 years ago #OTD the fragments of comet #ShoemakerLevy9 began to impact #Jupiter: here the IR view of the hot aftermath of fragment A. See x.com/peachastro/status/181319 for great amateur images of the dark clouds left in the upper atmosphere after the impacts, nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/ for maaany pictures from professional observatories - and skyweek.lima-city.de/SL9/sl6+7 and skyweek.lima-city.de/SL9/sl8.t for my early live reports (in German & English) from an observatory in Chile; skyweek.lima-city.de/SL9/index = all.

  5. It is now 30 years since the fragments of comet #ShoemakerLevy9 started impacting Jupiter: science.nasa.gov/solar-system/ .

    I remember paying attention to that as it happened...

    "Ein Zusammenstoß vor fast 30 Jahren hat die Atmosphärenchemie des Jupiters nachhaltig verändert; die Nachwirkungen helfen noch immer, den Gasriesen besser zu verstehen. Eine Pressemitteilung des Max-Planck-Instituts für Sonnensystemforschung."

  9. The planetary society on the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts on Jupiter. I got to see this first hand at the Singapore Science Centre in 1994 through the telescopes they had set up there for the event. It was an amazing experience.
