Description

S-L/9 impact sites on Jupiter Taken on July 1994 @Marcon 250mm C focus. Process of frames from a VHS videotape.

Comet Shoemaker - Levy 9 (D/1993 F2) was a comet that broke into at least 21 fragments and collided with Jupiter in July 1994, providing the first direct observation of a collision between Solar System objects.

I watched this extraordinary event for a few days, also getting some recently digitized VHS videos. These images are the result of current successful imaging techniques 25 years later.
