This mosaic of WFPC-2 images shows the evolution of the G impact site
on Jupiter. The images from lower left to upper right show: the impact
plume at 07/18/94 07:38 UT (about 5 minutes after the impact); the
fresh impact site at 07/18/94 at 09:19 UT (1.5 hours after impact);
the impact site after evolution by the winds of Jupiter (left), along
with the L impact (right), taken on 07/21/94 at 06:22 UT (3 days after
the G impact and 1.3 days after the L impact); and further evolution of
the G and L sites due to winds and an additional impact (S) in the G
vicinity, taken on 07/23/94 at 08:08 UT (5 days after the G impact).
