It's interesting to note that recent high-resolution imaging of 
near-Earth asteroids, crater population studies on the Moon, Mars, and 
other solar system bodies, and now impact craters on Earth are leading to 
the conclusion that many impacts (like Shoemaker-Levy on Jupiter) are 
multiple rather than single.
