Metorites that came from the planet Jupiter about ten or more years ago. Where to find info about them?

Question

TY. Yes, I think there were 20 meteorites headed for earth about 10 or more years ago at 220,000 miles an hour; but something happened & they missed earth, then there was really never anything heard about them. Could someone please tell me where I might find some research information about them would be very appreciated. TY.

Answer 1

Answer 2

ChuckE is correct.  You have your facts seriously wrong.  They made some very impressive explosions on Jupiter and nearly every telescope on Earth was watching when they hit.  

Answer 3

not a metorite (or meteorite or meteor) rather a comet

not came from Jupiter, it hit Jupiter.

Look up Shoemaker-Levy 9
