Any time that I am asked about the most interesting thing I have seen through a
telescope, I don't hesitate to answer that it was the impact of Comet
Shoemaker-Levy 9 into Jupiter. The discovery was made in March of 1993, and
the impact occurred in July of the next year. You can find David's raw notes
about Comet S-L9 in Volume 17. Notes about Carolyn Shoemaker's discovery
appear on page 42, and the observations of the impact begin on page 100.
