Description
English: Ultraviolet image of Jupiter taken by the Wide Field Camera of the Hubble Space Telescope. The image shows Jupiter's atmosphere at a wavelength of 2550 Angstroms after many impacts by fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. The most recent impactor is fragment R which is below the center of Jupiter (third dark spot from the right). This photo was taken 3:55 EDT on July 21, about 2.5 hours after R's impact. A large dark patch from the impact of fragment H is visible rising on the morning (left) side. Proceding to the right, other dark spots were caused by impacts of fragments Q1, R, D and G (now one large spot), and L, with L covering the largest area of any seen thus far. Small dark spots from B, N, and Q2 are visible with careful inspection of the image. The spots are very dark in the ultraviolet because a large quantity of dust is being deposited high in Jupiter's stratosphere, and the dust abosrbs sunlight. The dark circle on the upper half is the moon Io in front of Jupiter.
Deutsch: 1994: Jupiter nach dem Einschlag von Shoemaker-Levy 9, UV-Aufnahme - UV-Bild vom Jupiter aufgenommen mit der Wide Field Camera des Hubble Weltraumteleskops. Es zeigt die Atmosphäre des Planeten nach vielen Einschlägen von Bruchstücken des Kometen Shoemaker-Levy 9 in der Wellenlänge 2550Å. Der jüngste Einschlag auf dem Bild ist Fragment R (dritter dunkler Fleck von rechts). Das Foto wurde am 21. Juli um 3:55 EDT aufgenommen, etwa 2,5 Stunden nach dem Einschlag von R. Links ist ein großes dunkles Gebiet zu sehen, das gerade auf der Morgenseite aufgeht. Nach rechts weitergehend wurden weitere dunkle Flecken durch Einschläge der Bruchstücke Q1, R, D/G (nunmehr ein einziger großer Fleck) und L, wobei L das bislang größte Ausmaß hat. Bei genauer Betrachtung des Bildes sind kleine dunkle Flecken von B, N und Q2 zu erkennen. Die Flecken sind im UV-Bereich sehr dunkel, da eine große Menge Staub hoch oben in Jupiters Stratosphäre getragen wird, und dieses Sonnenlicht absorbiert. Der dunkle Punkt oberhalb ist der vor dem Jupiter vorbeiziehende Mond Io.
