    During this week, 20 years ago -- July 16-22, 1994 -- at least 21 remnants of a celestrial object designated as Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter.
    For those of you who checked in with Ronald [K4GET] last night, you may remember that his first question was about this Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact.
     According to JPL, "...this was the first collision of two solar system bodies ever to be observed, and the effects of the comet impacts on Jupiter's atmosphere have been simply spectacular and beyond expectations." [Source]

     Notwithstanding the impact it made on Jupiter, the Comet also shook up of the theories by earth geologists that dismissed extra-terrestrial objects as not really affecting us or our planet -- in the past or in our future.
    One of theses geologists, who knew differently, was Eugene Shoemaker -- one of the Comet's co-discover in 1993.

    But again,  I digress....
    So, accordingly, our 3 questions tonight are about comets in general, and Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9, in particular.
    Please give us your best answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.   
    So how much do YOU know about comets?
       
       ++ "Mixed Bag of 3 Trivia Questions -- #18: "Easy Comet, Easy Go" ++
Question #1: Gene Shoemaker's wife, Carolyn, was not only a co-discover of Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9, BUT also holds the record for the most comet discoveries -- TRUE or FALSE?
        A. True, or
        B. False
Question #2: After Gene Shoemaker was killed in a car accident on July 18, 1997 in Australia, one of his unfulfilled wishes was later granted when his ashes aboard a lunar spacecraft crashed into a crater on the moon in 1999  -- TRUE or FALSE?
        A. True, or
        B. False
Question #3: Have YOU ever seen a comet?
        A. Yes, or
        B. No, or
        C. Sure! I actually owned, rode in, made love in, drove to school or work in, or wrecked a Comet (manufactured by the Lincoln-Mercury Division of Ford Motor Company during the 1960s).

++ QUOTE OF THE DAY ++  --  Shortly before Professor Shoemaker died he said:
            "Not going to the Moon and banging on it with my own hammer has been the biggest disappointment in life."[SOURCE: TBA]
