Description:
Scientists are still trying to piece together what exactly occurred when comet fragments from Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacted with Jupiter last year. Several theories have been from the data received from Galileo and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) together with the modeling of the impacts using supercomputers, scientists hope to discover the answers to their questions and perhaps to resolve the differences that have arisen between the different model simulations.
