Good evening, and welcome! Today we're celebrating a truly stellar anniversary—January 17th holds a magnificent place in astronomical history.
On this date in 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope captured what would become one of the most iconic images in all of science: the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter. Now, if you've never heard of this cosmic car crash, buckle up, because this was absolutely *wild*.
This comet had already been torn apart into at least 21 fragments—we're talking giant space rocks, some as large as mountains—and they were about to slam into Jupiter with the force of billions of nuclear weapons. When Hubble pointed its lens skyward on January 17th, it captured the dramatic evidence of these impacts: enormous fireballs blooming on Jupiter's atmosphere, dark impact scars the size of Earth itself, and clouds of debris rising thousands of miles into the Jovian sky.
What made this event so extraordinary wasn't just the scale—it was that this was the *first time in human history* we'd ever witnessed a collision of this magnitude in our solar system in real-time. Scientists watched, cameras rolling, as Jupiter took cosmic punishment and lived to tell the tale. The impact zones persisted for weeks, giving us an unprecedented laboratory for studying Jupiter's atmosphere and our solar system's violent history.
