Yes, between July 16 and July 22, 1994, several pieces of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. It was the first collision of two solar system objects ever observed. The comet had been captured and broken apart by Jupiter's strong gravity. More than 20 fragments of the comet crashed into Jupiter's Southern Hemisphere at speeds of about 130,000 miles (210,000 km) per hour. The impacts released a lot of energy and created several large, dark scars in Jupiter's atmosphere which lasted for several weeks.

∙ 14y agoDuring July 16, 1994 to July 22, 1994, over 20 fragments from the comet Shoemaker Levy 9 hit Jupiter's southern hemisphere.
This provided the first direct observation of a collision between two Solar System objects

∙ 12y agoIt is not quite clear what hit Uranus, however it is believed it was hit by a large mass (2x the size and mass of Earth) long before any satellites were formed (much like all the other planets.) This is what is believed to have caused the planet to tilt.

All honestly, Uranus's atmosphere would not have allowed a commet or an asteroid to hit it... Imagine The Earth's atmosphere and how it won't allow things to hit us or indanger us... Well picture Uranus's 10x thicker. It wasn't getting hit by commets big enough to tilt it around 90 degrees or even 50 degrees for that matter...

Did comet hale-bopp crash into Jupiter?
no
Did the Hale-Bopp comet strike Jupiter when it was pulled apart by Jupiter's gravity?
No. You may be thinking of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which did break up and then crash into Jupiter. Hale-Bopp is still headed outward from the Sun, and is expected to return to the inner solar system around the year 4530.
Dying comet fragments that battered Jupiter travel at speeds?
meters and kilometers
What is the comets name that hit Jupiter?
sun grazer is the name of a comet that crashes into the sun
What happened to Jupiter in 1994?

Comet Crash was created on 2009-04-02.
Which planet was hit by a comet in 1994?
Jupiter. Jupiter was hit in 1994 by a comet called Shoemaker Levy9.
Will a comet go through Jupiter?
no
Was a astronaut on a comet?
No. But NASA did send a space probe to crash into a comet.
Will a comet crash in to the earth in 2012?
It may, or it may not. There is no particular reason to assume that a comet will crash into Earth precisely in 2012.
Where is Halley's comet going to crash?
A Comet is a body in perpetual orbit. A Meteorite is a body which enters the Earth's atmosphere. It is unlikely that Halley's Comet will ever crash into the Earth.
Who are 2 famous comets named after?
Halley's comet - which returns to our solar system approximately every 75 years - is one example, named after it's discoverer Edmund Halley. Another notable example is Shoemaker-Levy 9. It was observed orbiting the planet Jupiter, but the orbit was decaying - leading to the prediction that it was to crash into Jupiter's surface.
