Jupiter in natural colors, after being struck by Shoemaker-Levy 9
This image of the giant planet Jupiter, by NASA's HST, reveals the impact sites of fragments "D" and "G" from Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. 
The large feature was created by the impact of fragment "G" on July 18, 1994 at 3:28 a.m. EDT. It entered Jupiter's atmosphere from the south at a 45° angle and the resulting ejecta appears to have been thrown back along that direction. The smaller feature to the left of the fragment "G" impact site was created on July 17, 1994, at 7:45 a.m. EDT by the impact of fragment "D".
This image was taken 1h and 45' after fragment "G" impacted the Planet. The "G" impact has concentric rings around it, with a central dark spot that is about 2.500 Km in diameter. Such a dark spot is surrounded by a thin, dark, ring whose diameter is roughly 7.500 Km. 
Last (but not least...), the dark, thick, outermost ring's inner edge has a diameter of approx. 12.000 Km (the size of Earth...).
The impact sites are located in Jupiter Southern Hemisphere at a latitude of about 44°.
