The Comet shards will hit the backside of Jupiter just Over the horizon of the giant planet As viewed from Earth. Also at its closest approach to Earth Jupiter is still about 367 million Miles away and any explosive effect caused by the cometary pounding May be too faint to be seen by any but the most powerful telescopes. And the Comet chunks could be crunched up by Jupiter a Gravity so that they hit the planet not As Mountain sized pieces but As bits of gravel and cubes of ice. The negative predictions Are not dimming worldwide enthusiasm. Virtually All professional telescopes on Earth were aimed at Jupiter on saturday along with instruments from at least six science satellites. The Hubble space Telescope is scheduled to take hundreds of images and Nasa is sending aloft an air plane borne Telescope and launching sounding rockets from new Mexico.
