Carolyn Shoemaker


Is a remarkable woman and an amazing astronomer; she holds the record for the most comet discoveries. She has found more than 800 asteroids and 32 comets. Additional fame comes from her co-discovery, with husband Gene and David Levy, of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1993.
David H. Levy


One of the most successful comet discoverers in history. He has discovered 22 comets, nine of them using his own backyard telescopes. With Eugene and Carolyn Shoemaker at the Palomar Observatory in California he discovered Shoemaker-Levy 9, the comet that collided with Jupiter in 1994. That episode produced the most spectacular explosions ever witnessed in the solar system.
