How hot is shoemaker-levy?

Answer 1

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.
