Reviews
We've already heard about the discovery and spectacular demise of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 from David Levy himself in Impact Jupiter ; now we get the story from a multiplicity of perspectives, including that of Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker. The Shoemakers and the eight other astronomers featured in this large-format, generously illustrated volume chronicle the discovery of the comet; the careful tracking of its relentless, kamikaze trajectory toward Jupiter; the crash of each fragment of this so-called String of Pearls comet; and the effect these tremendous collisions had on the giant red planet. The crash of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was an unprecedented event, both in terms of the uniqueness of the comet itself and in our ability to transmit images of its swan song to millions of TV viewers and computer users. In the final chapters of this informative overview, astronomers H. Jay Melosh and Clark R. Chapman assess the unanswered questions left in the wake of this celestial event and try to imagine what would happen if such a comet struck the earth. Donna Seaman
