Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was a comet.It broke apart and crashed into Jupiter, in July 1994.The event was special because people could see, for the first time, how objects in the Solar System, outside Earth, collided. It caused a large amount of coverage in the media.The comet was carefully watched by astronomers worldwide. The crash gave new information about Jupiter.

As Kernbauer says, this isn't the first time or comet.' From our point of view this simply serves to remind us that impacts in the solar system are real and Jupiter gets more than its fair share of impacts,' said Chodas said. 'It draws in a lot of asteroids and comets. We are seeing these impact flashes on Jupiter about once a year now, and that's I believe because of instrumentation.' Between July 16 and July 22 of 1994, fragments of the as astronomers and stargazers watched in awe through their telescopes on Earth. The impacts left great scars that were visible on the Jupiter for months through even a small telescope. While astronomers watched comet Shoemaker-Levy 9's Jupiter crash from Earth, NASA's Galileo spacecraft - which was en route Jupiter at the time - captured stunning images of the collision.

The Hubble Space Telescope recorded views of the impacts in different wavelengths, while NASA used its Deep Space Network to track radio disturbances in Jupiter's radiation belt. Fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994 created dark clouds on Jupiter, visible even in small telescopes.NASA/ESAThen it happened in again.On July 19, 2009, Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley noticed a dark spot near Jupiter's southern pole: the telltale bruise from an impact,. It was roughly the size of the ill-fated Titanic cruise ship.A year later, on June 3, 2010,. This impact was also spotted by Wesley in Australia, as well as by fellow Jupiter-watcher Christopher Go in the Philippines.

But wait, there's more.Later in 2010, on Aug. 20, was spotted by amateur astronomer Masayuki Tachikawa in Japan. Then on Sept. 12, 2012, this one first spotted by Dan Peterson of Racine, Wisconsin.The photos from the recent Jupiter impacts show how the planet is under constant surveillance by some die-hard amateur astronomers. 'Better and better instruments means Jupiter is being monitored, even by amateur astronomers, much more than it was in the past,' Chodas said.And the planet is about to get another visitor, this one from NASA.On July 4 of this year, will arrive in orbit around Jupiter to pick up where the Galileo mission (which ended in 2003) left off. The $1.1 billion Juno mission launched in 2011 and is expected to spend at least a year mapping Jupiter in amazing detail.Editor's note:If you captured a stunning photo of the March 17 impact on Jupiter and you'd like to share it with Space.com and our news partners for a story or gallery, send images and comments in to managing editor Tariq Malik at.Space.com staff writer Calla Cofield contributed to this report from New York City.
