In July 1994, more than 20 fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy struck Jupiter at a latitude of about 45°S (see Figure 1). High-temperature chemical reactions that occurred during the impacts created a suite of new compounds, such as hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and carbon monoxide (CO).

Most of us have seen on television the impact of several fragments of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 when it struck Jupiter during July 1994. One fragment a little more than 4 kilometres across was travelling at about 60 kilometres per second and is estimated to have had energy on impact equal to 100,000 million tonnes of...
