Impact of Fragment R from Lowell Observatory
--------------------------------------------

A false-color image of Jupiter obtained at 5:44 UT July 21 using a 8900 A 
methane filter with the Perkins 1.8-m telescope coupled with the Imaging 
Fabry Perot instrument at Lowell Observatory. 
The bright feature seen on the lower-left limb of Jupiter was first detected 
at 5:42 UT, consistent with the detections by numerous IR observers of 
the fragment "R" fireball.  The moon Europa is also visible to the right of 
the planet.
