Why I'm Called - Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet

I am Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet.

I am a comet that collided with Jupiter in 1994.

My name was given in 1993.

I was named by Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker, and David Levy.

My name came from my discoverers, Carolyn and Eugene Shoemaker, and David Levy, who found it as part of a team.

My name combines the surnames of the discoverers, with "9" indicating it was the ninth periodic comet discovered by this team.

An interesting fact is I'm famous for my collision with Jupiter in 1994, where I broke into multiple fragments and impacted the planet, providing significant data on comet impacts.
