This depiction of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacting Jupiter is shown from the viewpoint of Earth. 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.
