Only one hour after the Q2 fragment of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smacked into Jupiter on July 20, Ron Baalke's Mosaic home page showed photographs of the collision taken at the Calar Alto Observatory in southern Spain. "The World-Wide Web was faster than CNN," says Baalke, a software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, Calif. The page -- where you'll find about 700 photo files from NASA and observatories around the world -- has been accessed more than 2 million times since it went online two months ago.
