I remember watching the Shoemaker-Levy comet vs. the planet Jupiter : that was one of the earliest interesting “live” things I remember seeing on the internet, via Mosaic on my little Slackware Linux workstation at the local university. That was pretty cool. I often remember it when I’m watching current astronomy events unfold live: probes launch or land on mars, or data releases from telescopes.
