Jupiter
In 1994, comet Shoemaker-Levy collided with Jupiter. Much of the comet broke up in the atmosphere. The comet left visible scars on Jupiter for many months.
Comet Shoemaker-Levy Collided with Jupiter in July 1994.
Jupiter in 1994 it took an entire week for the 21 pieces to crash into Jupiter
This comet was named after the 2 scientist who began the study of the effects of the comets collision with Jupiter. Their names were Shoemaker and Levy, thus naming the comet the Shoemaker-Levy comet. Obviously after crashing into Jupiter the comet no longer exists.
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter between July 16 and July 22, 1994. This was a rare event where a comet broke into multiple pieces due to Jupiter's gravity and each fragment collided with the planet over the span of a few days.

Shoemaker-Levy9 crashed in to Jupiter in 1994.
Ed Shoemaker was killed in an auto accident in Australia in 1997. His ashes were sent to the Moon aboard the Lunar Prospector space probe. David Levy is living in Vail, Arizona, and hosts a weekly internet radio program on astronomy. They were the co-discoverers of many comets, the most famous of which was Shoemaker-Levy 9. In July 1994, fragments of the Shoemaker Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter, the first confirmed example of a comet colliding with a planet. At the time of the impact, the explosion of the comet crashing into Jupiter was clearly visible from Earth using only modest telescopes. The blemishes in Jupiter's clouds were visible for months.

This question is posted in the Astronomy forum, so presumably you are asking about Eugene Shoemaker, an American geologist and amateur astronomer. His early work focused on an analysis of the Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona, and his studies on impact craters in general. In collaboration with David Levy, they discovered a series of comets. One of them, "Shoemaker-Levy 9" (the ninth comet discovered by the team) broke apart and crashed into the planet Jupiter in 1994. See the link below to the Wikipedia article about him.
