HST Image of Impacts E/F, H, N, Q1, Q2, R and D/G Target Name:   Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, Jupiter Spacecraft:   Hubble Space Telescope Produced by:   Hubble Space Telescope Comet Team Copyright:  Public domain Related Document Shoemaker-Levy 9 Impact Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size hst22juc.gif GIF 705 x 665 166K hst22juc.jpg JPEG 705 x 665 26K Image of Jupiter with the Hubble Space Telescope Planetary Camera. Eight impact sites are visible. From left to right are the E/F complex (barely visible on the edge of the planet), the star-shaped H site, the impact sites for tiny N, Q1, small Q2, and R, and on the far right limb the D/G complex. The D/G complex also shows extended haze at the edge of the planet. The features are rapidly evolving on timescales of days. The smallest features in this image are less than 200 kilometers across. This image is a color composite from three filters at 9530, 5550, and 4100 Angstroms.
