 Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The event highlighted Jupiter's role in reducing the amount of space debris in the inner solar system, which is thought to be a prerequisite for unbroken development of life.
Brian Marsden of the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams noted that the comet lay only about 4 degrees from Jupiter as seen from Earth, and that while this could of course be a projection effect, its apparent motion suggested that it was physically close to the giant planet [2].
Because of this, he suggested that the Shoemakers and David Levy had discovered the fragments of a comet that had been disrupted by Jupiter's gravity.
