The collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 and Jupiter IAU Colloquium 156 : proceedings of the Space Telescope Science Institute Workshop, held in Baltimore, Maryland, May 9-12, 1995

The spectacular collision of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter in July 1994 was a unique event in the history of observational astronomy. With a year's advance warning, astronomers and planetary scientists around the world were able to co-ordinate an observing campaign to track the event in u...
