   And here is the final animation @spacegeck, showing the reprocessed images of the pieces of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hitting Jupiter and the resulting scars on the planet's surface.

     This week marks the 30th anniversary of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 slamming into Jupiter.

     One of my formative childhood memories is eagerly waiting for the comet to hit Jupter and then seeing the #Hubble images after at a public lecture at the local university.

     Here is an Illuminated Universe guest post from a few years ago by @spacegeck about reprocessing the Hubble data.
