      The Shoemaker-Levy comet is why I named this website "comet".
      I downloaded notes and pictures of Shoemaker-Levy striking Jupiter from Usenet astronomy newsgroups during the event.
  • Planets
    • 14 Jan 2005: Huygens lands on Jupiter's moon, Titan
    • In the year 2003, Mars has come as close to Earth as it didn't come in millennia, not to speak of lifetimes. Mars opposition occurred on August 28, 2003 (17:58:49 UT), less than two days before the planet passes its perihelion on August 30. The closest approach of the two planets had already occurred one day earlier, on August 27 (09:51:14 UT); distance will be as close as 55.758 million km (more acurately, 55,758,006 km or 34,646,418 miles). At this distance, it appeared larger than at any historic time to now: 25.11 arc seconds in diameter.
