Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 is about to collide with Jupiter. The impacts will be on the far side. However, seismic disturbances induced by momentum transfer will propagate through the planet to cause waves on the near-side surface, which will begin to concentrate near the antipodes about 1.9 h after each impact. Unfortunately, the amplitudes of the waves are likely to be insufficient to provide an observable diagnostic of the internal structure of the planet. Key words: waves - comets: individual: Shoemaker-Levy 9 - planets and satellites: individual: Jupiter.
