The fireball from Fragment W of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 rising from where it exploded after plunging into the night side of Jupiter in July 1994.

 

Four exposures on a single frame of the imager aboard the Galileo spacecraft; that mission was hamstrung by the failure of its high-gain antenna, so that the data transmission rate was via the low-gain antenna, and about a factor of 10,000 slower than planned.  That made for lots of extemporizations in how the spacecraft operated as the data volume was far less than had been intended.
