Jupiter, Sl9 Impact

Scientific paper

Comet fragments D, G, R, and S all impacted on Jupiter within an 180 range of longitude, and produced a single great dark complex. Using high-resolution maps derived from Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based images, we compile a continuous record of this complex. Many dark spots and streamers developed within it. They did not follow the normal east-west wind pattern, but showed evidence for both prograding and anticyclonic motions. There was also evidence that a nearby cyclonic white oval `erupted' within two days after impact G.
