In this series of depictions, comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacting Jupiter is shown from three different perspectives: at left, from the viewpoint of Earth; center, from the Voyager 2 spacecraft in the outer reaches of the solar system; and, at right, from Jupiter's south pole. For visual appeal, most of the large cometary fragments are shown close to one another in this image. At the time of Jupiter impact, the fragments will be separated from one another by several times the distances shown. |
