From the 16th of July to the 22nd of July, 1994, about twenty fragments of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) collided with Jupiter. These collisions were the first that human beings observed so clearly. In Japan, the Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) carried out radio and infrared observations of the collisions on various frequencies. As a result of these observations, infrared images of the spots produced by the collisions were obtained and radio signals which were supposed to be emitted as a result of the collisions were detected. Also, CRL carried out theoretical work and the orbital evolution of this comet was studied. This study revealed that the orbit and the motion of SL9 were both very complicated and chaotic. In this paper, the results of our observations and our theoretical studies are presented briefly.
