March 17, 2016 collision with Jupiter the same event, verifying the clip that Kernbauer had posted. Manager of the NASA NEO Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Paul Chodas said that there was a greater possibility of the object being an asteroid rather than a comet. A similar situation occurred with Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994, when the comet broke apart and collided with Jupiter. March 17, 2016 collision with Jupiter An astronomical body collided with Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, on March 17, 2016. The object in question has not been confirmed by NASA to be an asteroid or comet,
Herschel Space Observatory had been delivered as a result of the collision of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 in 1994. On 22 January 2014, ESA scientists reported the detection, for the first definitive time, of water vapor on the dwarf planet, Ceres, largest object in the asteroid belt. The detection was made by using the far-infrared abilities of the "Herschel Space Observatory". The finding is unexpected because comets, not asteroids, are typically considered to "sprout jets and plumes". According to one of the scientists, "The lines are becoming more and more blurred between comets and asteroids." On 29 April 2013, ESA announced that "Herschel" supply
