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.
