NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Digital reconstruction of the SHOEMAKER-LEVY 9 comet collision that occurred on July 1994. The reconstruction is based on successive views from NASA's HUBBLE space telescope which appear as a string of reddish fragments falling on Jupiter from the south. A later Hubble image shows the dark spots where pieces of the comet have already collided with the planet. The faint ring, based on images obtained by NASA's Galileo mission, is normally very faint, but has been enhanced for this illustration. The striations show the tracks of the comet's dust cloud. The impacts of these dust particles caused the ring to tilt off its axis. Period chromogenic print. Legend on the back label. 40,6 X 40,6CM with margins.
