Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact on Jupiter

[garekinokami]

Gonna have to give it up to Jupiter for taking the lumps.

[AdinanCenci]

kamehameha? Oo"

[blues3a]

i mean lives

[blues3a]

Jupiter saved our ives

[MrVorudo]

They will try that on saturn..

[TheKaonis]

Reminds me of Dragon Ball Z.

[matthewgroen]

the shoe fitted jupiter

[jackiedegracia]

lol my little brother saw this and said oh wow nibiru! It's true though this is one of the images they use for the thumbnail in their videos.

[SuperHushPuppy]

Thank you Jupiter. You and all planets including the moon are our faithful shields.

[jackiedegracia]

@SuperHushPuppy

Jupiter is where your tax money really goes. He doesn't do it out of brotherly love.

[juanjosesito409]

i dont understand this: why an asteroid can imoact juipter if it is made of gas

[mecher3k]

@juanjosesito409

Gas Giants have solid cores.

[TurkishGamer92]

@juanjosesito409 no thats not the reason. The real reason why we say impact is because not of a real impact, but also of very extreme rubbing which is caused of the thousands of miles per hour the comets go into the athmosphere. It gets extremely hot and burns the gases around there. It is burning which causes the light.

[attypulpol]

let me guess... HAARP

[mecher3k]

@attypulpol

Uh yea ok retarded nutter. gtfo.

[Jahoobano]

"Normandy! Do you copy? We're under attack!"

*Incoming transmission from Jupiter*

"Normandy! Are you there?! Repeat, requesting immediate aid! PLEASE!"

*Request denied*

*Setting new course for Uranus*

*Really, Commander?*

[FastoJetso]

You know were lucky wew dont have Jupiter. you know why if Jupiter wasnt there then Ley 9 wouldve hit us and scientists say it wouldve wiped out ouspecies

[unreals500]

These are anti-mater bombs.

[danthemanzizzle]

Dear Jupiter, thanks :)

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

Jupiter took a hit for us, that means we owe Jupiter, I hope he does not ask to fuck my girlfriend



[darkcrimson23]

@tHeWasTeDYouTh Jupiter doesn't ask. Jupiter does whatever Jupiter wants.

[jackiedegracia]

@darkcrimson23

Sometimes Jupiter just wants to cuddle.

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@tHeWasTeDYouTh He can take my wife if he wants.

[jackiedegracia]

@TheWitchOvAgnesi

Take your wife...please?

[TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@jackiedegracia You'd get what you deserve if you did LOL

[Berehowsky55]

@TheWitchOvAgnesi because your "wife" happens to be your "partner" you cumguzzling fucking exposed faggot....lol

[EricKZhang]

This was God's mission to kill Justin Bieber.. too bad Jupiter was in the way :P

[Mattt8D]

@EricKZhang You think he would've worked it out that there was a planet in the way.

[DarkkDreamer1717]

@EricKZhang HAHAHAHAH so funny.... dumbass

[ShadowXII]

Thanks Jupiterbro.

[SrMasterify]

Caralho! Pôw, q Merda Viu""!

[MareyaMax]

[Jupitors talking on the phone with Earthe and Mars]

Jupitor: so i said UP YOURS PLUTO YUR NOT EVEN A PLANET ANYMORE

Earthe&Mars:LOLLOLOL

Jupitor: AND I BANGED HI--- wait holdon somethings hitting me...hmmm

oh just another astroid invasion man these things are sure active

Mars: doesnt it hurt? o.o

Jupitor: nah i got used to it a couple million years ago.............plus it gives me a

reason to save Earths big blue and brown ass alot thattllbe 5 bucks btw Earth

Mars: xD

[zofoblues]

Kingray711, Why do you hope for life on Jupiter?

[danthemanzizzle]

tankshow, bet jupiters just like "ima add you to ma core biatch"

[cometogether21]

NASA hired Chuck Norris as their newest astronaut.

[KingWing777]

it sed BLOOM!

[redmark19666]

I wish we could touch Jupiter.

[EvilSnooche]

So that's where they all went...no wonder i don't know any shoemakers... I heard that's also where the chimney cleaner, shoe polisher, town herald, and paperboy all went.

[debieblue]

LOL...LOL...LOL...ROFL

Damn good one KingRay...Hahahaha

Jupiter has now been hit three times in the last couple months...the science just confirmed.

Hahahaha

[PUSHA304]

Amazing!!! Think of the size of Jupiter and being able to see those impacts that well just shows how big the comet was before it broke apart. Imagine what could have happened if the comet didn't break apart

[droppermyth1]

How come, if Jupitor's all body is made up of the gasses then how come after the impact the light of heat could be seen. PLEASE STOP producing the FAKE Computer Aid images to fool the youth!

Science has not yet fully revealed out of our MOON how come they are keeping an eye on others planets ,,, the out comes with the assumptions and fake clips/images ----- stupidity

I hate NASA

[TheJordanHartt]

@droppermyth1 Your A Really dumb fucking infincient dumbass, if a comet or a meteor or any other substance hits juptier it will be crushed but the schorching pressures below and cause a heat reaction the same it does in our atmosphere. so stop saying shits fake when you dont even know anything about it so next time you should stop making up fairy talkes so you can fucking sleep at night you jungle naked penis rubber.

[MERCURHILLMANIAC]

@TheJordanHartt junkle naked penis rubber! lo fuckin L!!!

[EvilSnooche]

@TheJordanHartt Clarification Service.

1.Your= you're 2. Infincient= infant or inefficient 3. juptier= jupiter 4. But=by 5. schorching= scorching 6. fairy talkes = fairyTALES.

For all you stupid bucket ass pencil cunts.

[TheJordanHartt]

@droppermyth1 Oh Yea And you spelled Jupiter wrong, clearly you dont know anything about space you draft cock sucking mouse shit.

[purplehatcult]

@droppermyth1 Why are you so mad bro?

[J0NDUDE]

Well you can thank Jupiter for saving our lives ;P

[TheJordanHartt]

@J0NDUDE Dam Right You can

[KingWing777]

man i remember that like it was yesterday

[JONNOG88]

The Cosmic Ballet goes on.

[chainbluelightning1]

Jupiter is tired of getting whacked and I can't blame it. Always taking the hit for us here on Earth. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that how it works? Jupiter kind of absorbs all the stuff that would normally crash down into our seas? There's a story in that. Think of the possibilities. How many asteroids, comets, hell, small moons have slammed into that planet over the eons? Alien matter from all corners of the galaxy...could be some exotic lifeforms hiding out in that atmosphere.

[culturalmut]

amazing

[Danceallnightbabe]

i love astronomy talk .. :)

[chewie211171]

My god, can you imagine what would happen to the Earth if this reached us? It would be an 'extinction level' event. What could be done about it?

[KingRay711]

A group of NASA astronauts recently visited Jupiter to survey the damage the comet inflicted on the planet. They found large swaths of survival colonies grouping together and restarting their civilization. The UN's World Food Programme in unisom with the U.S. military have sent massive quantities of food aid to the 1,400-pound creatures that dominate the Jovian ecosphere. I might be going next month to say wzaaaaaaaap! to my jupiter homeboys

[Ilsimeone]

@KingRay711 I say we need a new organisation to be able to handle such crises in the future. the United Nations are not up to the job, we need a United Planets Organisation with an interplanetary food programme ;)

[ArabJinn]

bye bye shoemaker-levy 9

[Allroundmoviemaker]

Sorry for the maybe stupid question, I'm not an expert in astronomy stuff, but I wonder about one thing...Jupiter is a gas planet, so shouldn't the comets just like fly through it and come out on the other side?

Any explanations for a non-expert?

[indycell]

@Allroundmoviemaker im not an expert either but although jupiter is a so called gas planet it is not entirely made of gas, deep in the center must have some substance otherwise the asteroids wouldnt have crashed with anything, but even though the planet didnt have a lot of substance the gravity of the planet would`ve torn the asteroids into smaller pieces wich is exactly what it did at the beggining,

[TheKalinLihou]

@Allroundmoviemaker There is a solid surface underneath it all

So it either exploded when it got too hot

Or it hit the surface in the middle

[fluffysnakeful]

@TheKalinLihou how hard do you consider mud, foool?

[TheKalinLihou]

@fluffysnakeful well with the force of a high spped comat, it would hit pretty hard "Fool"

[coreliorothgeb]

this is gay

[crumbuntas]

jupiter is designes to draw all the big rocks and other space junk towards it, thus protecting earth

[supergirlmas]

it can also send them in our direction.

[KingRay711]

wow check out the size of those fireballs, significantly larger than the great red spot which is itself nearly twice the size of Earth... One can only imagine how many species went extinct on Jupiter. Those poor Jovian bastards, I hope the UN is doing its job there

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

@KingRay711 Your comment gave me the laugh I needed today!!! LOLOL!!

[artur1991iinc]

isn't life on jupiter unsustainable? 

[tttmmmnnnttt]

@artur1991iinc

Jupiter doesn't even have a solid surface..(well exept its core which is really small, i'm not sure but i heard its as small as earth)

but yeah, Jupiter, Saturn, uranus, and neptune dont have solid surfaces, the planet is actually GAS surrounding a solid Core, so acually if you take away the gass, they will be a SMALL planet!

[artur1991iinc]

makes no sense, you need at atmosphere as well, otherwise its just gonna be like the moon

[tttmmmnnnttt]

@artur1991iinc

The GAS is both the surface the atmosphere!(read it in encyclopedia of space)

and it does make sense, jupiter DOESNT have a solid surface! if u try to stand on it u will sink, and how deeper u go, the pressure will become more, until u explode!

[artur1991iinc]

too much star trek for you buddy ;)

[zach100590]

@KingRay711 man i hope there is life on jupter!

[Domescrotes]

@zach100590 ur dum..there can be no life on jupiter

[zach100590]

@Domescrotes have you ever been on jupiter? didnt think so. 

[Domescrotes]

@zach100590 >< actually i have..n it smells like ur moms beat puss..nobody wants to live there

[jackiedegracia]

@zach100590

It's a pretty safe bet to make that there isn't.

[ClubPenguinMovies123]

@KingRay711 First of all, ITS A FUCKING GAS PLANET RETARD! And the gravity is so strong, YOU WOULD BE FUCKING CRUSHED! Thank you for your time :)

[Kuti210]

@ClubPenguinMovies123 sorry for replying for such a old comment but... the KingRay guy was beign sarcastic about life in Jupiter. Thank you for your time :)

[KingRay711]

@ClubPenguinMovies123 Here's an angry penguin. Dear Mr. Not-So-Happy Feet, on good ol' Jupiter I would weigh about 380lbs. Which is the equivalence of carrying one and a half KingRays around every step I take. So, while Jupiter's gravity is sufficient to press my lungs to the point of suffocation after an 8 hour exposure, I wouldn't be completely FUCKING CRUSHED, as you so politely put it. Your Youtube name shouldn't be ClubPenguinMovies123, it should simply be PlanetOfTheApes007 :)

[KingRay711]

@ClubPenguinMovies123 BTW, on my last trip to Jupiter, I brought an Emperor penguin and a Fairy penguin with me. The Emperor penguin weighed a whopping 190lbs! It was fun. Not as fun as tossing it out of my spaceship and calculating its terminal velocity before being incinerated by a titanic Jovian lightning bolt. I kept the Fairy penguin safe inside however. After consuming all of my food, it made for a delightful Fairy Flambe. Thank you for your useless time :D

[sylontuk]

@KingRay711 PMSL

[MrEhemaliger]

@KingRay711 so its like if the earth would hit jupiter?

[misterlaufeyson]

@MrEhemaliger no, these comet fragments were only between a few hundred metres and a few kilometres wide. if they were the size of the earth, the explosions would have been much much bigger

[wierdkiller]

@Cosmored you are a fucking idiot

[artur1991iinc]

stick with the lockness monster douchebag

[halfblood47]

put your hand into a mixer than u know what happens to the comet ;)

[Quinctius]

jupiter doesn't have a solid surface. In what does the comet crash? in gasclouds?

[Stoptherobots]

The bright flashes / explosion are caused by the comet burning up in the atmosphere, which also caused the visible holes in the clouds on the surface. I think, though I'm no expert.

[StevoElsupremo]

yes your right, jupiter may be made of gas but its extremely dense heavy gas, and that comet literally explodes on impact with those gases, it does though have a small rocky core, a little smaller then mars.

[harrymedan]

they dont know if it does. jupiter is 80,000 miles across. its a massive object. they have barely scratched the surface with the studies they have done. jupiter may not be entirely gas and may or may not have some solid surface or a solid core.

[speedoman1]

Jupiters has layers; A core of rock, metals, and hydrogen compounds; metallic hydrogen then liquid hydrogen, then gaseous hydrogen and a shell of visible clouds made up of water, ammonium hydrosulfide and ammonia

[iseslc]

It doesn't actually crash. I'm guessing here, but the comet was going at interplanetary speeds (11km/s or more), and because of jupiter's huge gravitational well, it accelerated to an even larger velocity. Because Jupiter's atmosphere is so incredibly thick, the comet starts heating up because of the atmospherical friction. This subjects the comet to an incredible amount of negative acceleration (maybe thousands of m/s^2!). So, yeah, the comet squashes and then burns!

[Oscar847]

yep, its only because Jupiter has a strong pulling.

[Oscar847]

strong gravity i meant.

[tenten35]

Its torn apart by Jupiters Immense gravity and pressure.

[biustas]

its more off a evaporation through atmosphere intense heat + and because of thicknes and comet speed preasure angainst it rips appart the commet

[abrokendreamer]

jupiter does have a solid surface. the planet has a rocky core of about 10-15 times the mass of the Earth, but on top of this is a seething 'ocean' of metallic hydrogen and other exotic states of hydrogen and helium, the gasses of its atmosphere surround that. its not fully made of gas.

[Squipplekillzbitches]

When I was a baby my parents took 2 hours to download the video on our dial up internet to show me this a few days after it happened :D

I also remember Comet Hale Bopp. Good days...

[johnlewisbrooks]

My gosh! That's some cool stuff!

And for a bit of history the people who were saying that these disasters were likely to happen sometime were being laughed at.

Who's laughing now?

[speedoman1]

Astronomers estimate that a major impact on Jupiter occurs about once every 1,000 years. So pretty rare I would say

[johnlewisbrooks]

@speedoman1

I was also told that another object hit jupiter recently.

If that's the case it's one object turning into 7 and plus another one.

If that's true they better get their calculators re calibrated.

[eppmalko]

1k years is nothing, so it's not rare at all.

[rva1945]

As far as I know, impact of fragment G yielded 6,000,000 megatons of TNT (600 times the world's nuclear arsenal), and there were 21 fragments impacts!

[inforob]

and now imagine..... one impact as that in the earth. A masive extintion......

A brutal collision in the earth 65 millions ago....

[sportsnumber8]

whats the spot glowing on the right side?

[Elvensteel0]

the second impact

[KazekFuturi]

read the description

[El135o]

Look at how the Red Spot glows in the infra-red!

[SilverKracker]

yeah

[pando999]

didnt it happen on 1994

[bvnnbv]

I can't see it. Help anyone?

[redsox76789]

big shiny ball in the left hand corner is the comet but idk i cant figure out the impact

[skyysdalmt]

the big shiny ball in the left hand corner IS the impact.

[Marduk379]

Cool. I remember watching this on the tele.

[CiniCraft]

aww wtf... they didnt film the impact???

[1640george]

CHECK LUCIFER PROJECT[++]

[Hauntedman1]

and im very proud to be part of that generation

[Hauntedman1]

Proinsiapad the Shoemaker Levy 9 impact did happen a chain of 20 cometary fragments each exploding with the force of 10 Hiroshima's dude your a fuckwit who proberly thinks two pack is gonna come back from the grave this is scientific it happened levy died soon after this this is his crowning scientific acheivement and he left us a hell of a legacy being the first generation to be able to view a comet impact.

[ACMalloch]

actually one of the fragments released enough energy to be the equivalent of 1 hiroshima bomb going off every second for 13 years!

[proinsiaspad]

Man, I don't believe any of this shit. Man this is all like, the men going to the moon hoax. There was no Appollo program - it was all camera shots in a desert somewhere.

Man you can do this shit in Paint Shop Pro.

[rlvowell]

chill the fuck out. it's legit. the nwo or whoever the fuck you're afraid wouldn't benefit at all by lying about something as trivial as this.

[XmegaPresident]

Do you really have the mentality of a 4 year old?

Or you are just making a dumbass comment so you get attention..

Wait, you must be very close minded. 

Peace

[AhKillez]

actually anyone of those fragments would easily have been a global killer. tune in and watch the history channel sometimes it has the special about the comets striking jupiter. anyone of those rocks would have seriouly incinerated earth flash boiling the oceans and everything else would follow.

[1unitedfan]

Jupiter has a layered structure, but with no rigid boundaries between layers. Its outer layer is its 1000 km (600 mile) deep hydrogen rich atmosphere. Below that the hydrogen acts as a liquid; below that, it is compacted and acts as molten metal.

The comet pieces crashing into the liquid hydrogen is probably what destroyed them.

Try to imagine slamming your hand down on the surface of water as hard as you can, it hurts.

[NinjaKid3000]

that kind of impact would be big enough to destroy half the earth

[Helge129]

Half? The impact zones where twice the size of earth!

[priscillaxoxoxox]

yep, so that means there would be no more earth if that happened to us...-__-'

[agustinhopper]

if that,s that,S A COMET,Juiter Is A Gas Planet Then Would,nt It Be Destroyed By Now?

[blaa94]

just cause it is a gas planet doesnt mean its like a gas tank filled with gas ..

[MurrayHerts]

hahaha imagine that, if a asteroid hit jupiter and the whole thing blew up, that would of been amazing! come to think of it since jupiter is made of flamable gases, why didnt they whole thing blow?! lol.

[El135o]

Because such gases are only flammable in the presence of oxygen, and you would need a planet made of oxygen the same mass as Jupiter to blow it up!

Which, of course, is impossible.

Jupiter also is not 'gas'. Its hydrogen and helium are compressed under gravity to slush and then liquid metallic form. At its core are some heavy elements making up about twice the mass of Earth.

[MurrayHerts]

but its made of the same stuff as the sun... the to my knowledge, burns pretty well lol.

[El135o]

I just told ya, hydrogen burns well in oxygen. Jupiter's atmosphere in this sense is not 'flammable', and its hydrogen is mainly compressed liquid metal slush anyway.

And the Sun doesn't 'burn' hydrogen; it fuses protons into helium at the nuclear level.

[erichathy222]

@El135o ya what he said

[santino2k6]

@El135o Your remarking on fusion.

[4cellar2door0]

@El135o "and its hydrogen is mainly compressed liquid metal slush anyway."

False you fucking moron.

You should never talk about anything related to science again. Ever.

[stdfreesteve]

@El135o i wish i knew what you meant

[anutter14ever]

if jupiter is a gas giant then what the hell were those comet pieces crashing into ? i know when a person farts nickles dont bounce off the farts lol so what gives ?

[partypatches]

hahahaha! nice example... but think of thick smoke and you throwing a baseball through it... you'll still see the area where the ball hit. now imagine that on a much larger scale!

[LolandLawl]

Stupid they just call it a gas giant IT ISN'T JUST GAS THERE STILL SOME SOLID THINGS....

[anutter14ever]

obviously your the kind of scum bag who eats trash out of dumpsters ... and by the very fact you called me stupid shows that you are stupid if you were truly enlightened you would know that

[soylentgreenb]

"if jupiter is a gas giant then what the hell were those comet pieces crashing into?"

Dense gas.

That things is going 60 km/s, 2000 times faster than a car on the free way. Drag goes as speed squared(and drag power goes as speed cubed as a result).

The impacts released hundreds of times the energy of the entire nuclear arsenal of the world into heating jupiters atmosphere.

[1unitedfan]

Try to imagine slamming your hand down on the surface of water as hard as you can, it hurts.

[ujbx]

You think the pieces made it to the liquid hydrogen ocean of Jupiter? Or were they destroyed upon the impact into the outer atmosphere?

[distr0ia]

imagine if that hit our planet, which is what...a hundred times smaller?

[OneWingedAngel510]

i dont think it would because earth is small, or should i say TINY compared to jupiter

[theequalizer2007]

One thousand times smaller, as a matter of fact.

[GreatMarta]

I hadn't seen anything, 1

[movieman9855]

I wish it was more detailed or it was longer...

[Kashito91]

I WANT MORE!!!!!!!

[BettoRodriguezS]

very very good!

[macsi721]

asi que jupiter brilla en los polos por que al igual que la tierra es hueco y tiene un sol interno!!! y esa luz sale hacia afuera, unica filmacion de jupiter como realmente es y se ve como brilla en los polos

[macsi721]

So jupiter shines at the poles that like the earth is hollow and has an internal sun! And the light goes out, as a unique filming of jupiter is really shines and looks like at the poles

[overloaded]

NOT!

[aidakensuke]

BOOOM, amazing
