Lick Observatory 40-inch Telescope Image of Four Comet
Impact Spots on Jupiter
-------------------------

For the first time since the fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 
began their plunges into the Jovian atmosphere, four distinct
impact sites are visible from Earth at one time.

This enhanced image was taken 20 July 1994 in a methane filter 
centered at 8950 Angstroms in the near-infrared using the Nickel 
Telescope at Lick Observatory. The sites from fragments H, E, A, and C 
can be seen from left to right just above the south polar hood 
at the bottom of the image. The Great Red Spot appears above 
impact site C. At the time of this image, impact A had occured 
82 hours previous. Impacts C, E, and H  were 71, 63, and 35 hours 
old respectively.
