Comet Shoemaker - Levy 9 (D/1993 F2) was a comet that broke into at least 21 fragments and collided with Jupiter in July 1994, providing the first direct observation of a collision between Solar System objects.

I watched this extraordinary event for a few days, also getting some recently digitized VHS videos. These images are the result of current successful imaging techniques 25 years later.
