BBC: Jupiter Explosion - A Comet's Tale

[noche7799]

nosotros festejando y los de jupiter muriendo vaya que ahora en el 2011que este mismo planeta arde en llamas por culpa de este meteorito me pregunto ?????

[finechico20]

If an asteroid did hit the Earth, there would be nobody to tell our story. The egyptians, the celtics, WWI/II, racism, segregation, genocide, love, drama, arts, science, whites, blacks, native americans, christianity, islam, whales, lions, immigration, crime, albert einstein, sex, gays, lesbians, airplanes, cars, world trade center 9/11, etc, etc, never existed/never happened. Can you imagine that? I would hate to start all over again.........

[d240786]

@finechico20 Are you implying you are God or something?

[finechico20]

@d240786 lmao, no, what I meant was human history repeating itself. It's best that everything happens so that way we learn from our mistakes. It would suck to start all over again.

[LocustaVampa]

@finechico20 I'm certain that we have done this all before.

[mindsoulbody]

Jupiter: damn it, now I have some worts on my body.

[MADEINMAIDEN]

AS I KNOW, SINCE TODAY, THERE WERE NOT 3000KM HIGH FIREBALLS. THE SMOKE WAS 3000KM HIGH. AM I WRONG?

[gilbertodasilvaalves]

po meu ja pensou se esses meteoro mudase de rota e viesse parar aqui , puta que pariu

[flavius22]

i think the guy wearing glasses at the end, when they opened the champaigne, will get a nobel prize some day:)

[Roveryx]

@flavius22 why?

[30secs2ecstasy1]

What I find hilarious is the ignoran

ce that something like this COULDN'T happen to Earth..... DUH!

[gibbi8]

Imagine if we became aware that something that big was heading to earth. Its too big for us to stop it. The hysteria around the world would be surreal. Really chilling thought.

[freedomland11]

@gibbi8...I believe we will see that one day...GOD DO SOMETHING!

[l0vEr4in]

I got a footage of it^__^

[GalaticSpaceHero]

It was atomic warhead that caused

[purplekushblower420]

god would have not let it hit the earth

[admiralcrash1]

@purplekushblower420 that must of been how the dinosaurs felt before they were all fossils and oil. God wouldn't let rocks from space hit the earth? Really? Research the list of impacts on the Earth and positions...Your ideology differs from reality.

[rockotto727]

Hmmm Jupiter must be like ...yeah I'm saving Ur anus.

[raystaar]

The reason it DIDN'T hit the Earth is that Jupiter was there. Thank you big brother Jupiter, for keeping us safe.

[Norwegiian]

@raystaar True, but if it wasnt for jupiter we wouldnt even exist.

[raystaar]

@Norwegiian My point exactly, Norwegiian. We would have been annihilated eons ago.

[sixfeetontop]

Why are they celebrating

[MDkid1]

I don't wanna imagine that hitting the earth. I do remember this though, I was about 10 years old and fascinated by this stuff!

[themrmikida]

Gas giants have solid cores

[metal66696]

que festejan?? o.o

[HeyImBubProductions]

this is the only thing we should use nukes on!

[PlantsVersusOrcs]

@HeyImBubProductions Wouldn't the fuel be insufficient? A joke situation would be making nukes explosion proof with godlike powers, and send a nuke towards the nuke stuck in space by no fuel propeling it to the comet.

[HeyImBubProductions]

@PlantsVersusOrcs what do you mean? once the nuke is in space it doesnt really need much fuel also they could build a nuclear silo type thingy in space orbiting the earth... its completely possible

[Imaginificent]

@HeyImBubProductions The UN already put regulations into place that banned missile bays in Space. I'm guessing the reason this was established is because if by chance the system fails a random nuke would be dropped somewhere on Earth. Although missile defense systems are allowed in space in case of a nuclear attack we can shoot the nuke down before it re-enters the atmosphere.

[Imaginificent]

@Imaginificent that is to say that it is a long range missile an not a bomber that is dropping it.

[DZeRTEAGLE]

Jupiter is not solid but gas, how could an impact occur there?

[oomblikkies]

@DZeRTEAGLE The impact is caused by friction with the atmosphere, which is massive in the case of Jupiter.

[DZeRTEAGLE]

@oomblikkies thanks your response seems logic

[markointhesky]

@DZeRTEAGLE mabey the gas is a huge cloud?

[DZeRTEAGLE]

@markointhesky yes, iv'e been told that the impact is caused by friction in the atmposphere

[wj5mjk]

God designed the gas giant planets to protect us from such very things. :)

[SporadicPain]

@wj5mjk That's exactly how it happened.

[alanjames67]

bright streak- Oooo!!!!

[PhantomMana]

Jupiter is my home planet. xD loljk

[PhysiologicAli]

Chuck Norris kicked the atmosphere of Jupiter not a weak ass comet.

[tisiaan]

Jupi has it's own big bang theorie now i guess...maybe something's brewing...

[Parisssjs]

Yeah, that usually happens in planets where Chuck Norris doesn't live in....

[channelkido]

how did they shoot this awsommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooool

[damnt3iktai]

jupiter is our neighbour.

[jpmorgan187]

it's all fun and games here on earth, but those poor Jovians were burnt to a crisp.

[Catinjungle]

Did you see them pop that champagne? I wish I could bring alcohol to work, especially ice cold beer!

[deeppurple28]

If that comet had hit earth, there would have been no trace of our existence left!

[nicolaisb2]

Bruce will save us - armageddon

[LoLimrandom123]

Arwww poor Jupiter :(....Thank you Jupiter

[Cult1022]

maybe life was only able to occure on the blue planet, because the big boys are taking most of the treatment the Orth-Cloud is sending at the sun!

[19may0001]

i say it should have hit the earth

[rowealmighty]

@19may0001 you're fucking retarded

[DemonicMonkey88]

@19may0001 then your a retard that should go and -------...(not really but you should think about what you said.)

[RoiBazar]

@19may0001 Totally agree!!We humans,every single one of us,all deserve to die!! We were given life and the most beautiful place to stay on, and look what we done to it!!! Humans needs to be annihilated!!End is coming,don't know if it's 2012,but the end is coming!We can't go on like that forever!!We have to be stopped since we won't do it by ourself!!

[19may0001]

@RoiBazar you got the point of my comment but others are to sensitive and quick to get offended

[RoiBazar]

@19may0001 Or maybe they're just too scared!It can be scary to change,to go out of your comfort zone!! It's actually very sad that people are more scared to change things than they are about the end of the world! What Smith said in the matrix is true,we are cancer spreading everywhere on the planet!We behave the same way as cancer!And we'll keep spreading until there's nothing left! 2 options!1-We keep speading until everything is dead 2- a "cure".Either way...we're out!!

[jamesracek88]

@19may0001 i say u and 13 others are dumb asses, or emos maybe. either way really u wanna die because of the world around you? no it is because of your worlds, your realities, stop spreading, or trying to spread, ur bullshit, and im being helpful, not mean

[19may0001]

@jamesracek88 ok internet comment serious taker ,your a idiot to take youtube comments way too serious i laugh at lames like you but you go ahead an type more

[sylontuk]

@19may0001 Why? So that we can start again in our quest to be a decent peace loving species?

You forget that this is not our planet. We share it with thousands of other species and never forget that mankind is a species made up of many different cultures not just America and Europe...

Selfish and weak point of view in my opinion. If you don't like your life and the Earth then you know what to do, it will come to you either way..

[Maridianokusho]

@19may0001 Then our planet would have been hit out of our stable orbit to Sol. No one could survive anything like this.

[zenoparodie]

@19may0001 well, the same people that spotted this comet live on the same planet as you do, i say that if you hate humans so much, you can go kill yourself without envolving the rest of the species

[19may0001]

@zenoparodie wow; lame just fucking lame but the jokes on you, stupid dick up the booty internet bitch, you much have a shit life by taking youtube internet comments serious, stupid bastard

[zenoparodie]

@19may0001 are you really this frustrated in life to take something like this to this level?

wow, and im the one that should get a life, LOL ;)

[900transformers]

@19may0001 pyscopath why would u want it to hit the earth!

[1Equinox1]

@19may0001 LOL!

[LocustaVampa]

Why the ads? Anyway....I witnessed the comet striking Jupiter from a powerful telescope. I only saw a little discoloration. We owe Jupiter our very survival, because without it's gravity we would be struck by these comets.

[thetoamaster1]

@LocustaVampa Planets like Jupiter are one of the important things we need for life to survive.

[azzy314159]

@LocustaVampa I calculated a whole range of masses and trajectories for which the comet would strike Earth under the influence of Jupiters gravity.

I am not so sanguine about our safety under the influence of Jupiter. I believe that we are entering a period of increased interplanetary rock atack.

[Marauder1981]

@LocustaVampa

Y U NO USE ADBLOCK?

[GalaticSpaceHero]

Maybe that energy expanded into space and is causing Earth some problems. Shock wave that hasnt been identifyd. , Dark Energy.

[tisiaan]

@GalaticSpaceHero my thoughts 

[acolighto]

just imagine if it did hit the earth. :(

[RsKingBotz]

fucing adverts

[Sk8SaM47]

One of the biggest explosions my ass. What about supernovas? Explosions of stars which are million times bigger than Jupiter?

[44445au]

@Sk8SaM47 Biggest explosion ever been seen* And its not about size.... And HyperNova's are stronger then a super Nova. There is another explosion caused by a tiny tiny star. Forgot the name

[NAOCIA007]

@Sk8SaM47 do you understand when he said these are some of the biggest explosions ever witness? like seen happening? sure supernovas are massive but do we have a video of it happening? no right? thats what he meant by witnessing some of the biggest explosions from beginning to end on video not pictures.

[elitotaku]

det var en gång en anka som inte kunde flyga så den köppte ett flyplan så den kunde flyga med dom andra ankorna

[AqvvorldsMiniKnubbis]

@elitotaku Vafan?

[SuperSmilingSmiley]

Always nice to hear true scientists talk... ''Do you see this streak, and around it, there's some...other... stuff....''

...nyeeaaaa....

[danime999]

the thing i find most interesting is that they said "surface of the planet"... funny considering that for many years scientists thought that Jupiter was nothing but a big ball of gas! LOL

[goonerjack]

is this comet shoemaker-levy 9?

[ReR747]

@goonerjack Yes it was...

[ffles]

Jupiter is our Solar System's pool cleaner. Catches all the nasties before they reach us.

[illmorn]

Null-O's

[bgdguy]

What is actual reason of their celebration? Is that because Earth was missed or what?



[BatmanSucksMyBanana]

@bgdguy so some comets the size of earth crashed into Jupiter. they celebrated because people were laughing at them because they thought it was impossible for a comet to hit the earth and that we're safe, but they caught actual X-ray footage of several comets impacting Jupiter, and jupiter is HUGE. if it wasn't for jupiter's gravity pulling in those comets, we would be dead.

[faisalart2006]

Burst the Champaign and destroy all the computer... :D

[faisalart2006]

shake the Champaign and destroy all the computer... :D

[ReR747]

It was hot as hell also, I guess hell is not that hot, huh?

[ImMasterBates]

Thank you Jupiter i love you!

@Axellerater

Maybe they wanted in to be here. Nibirus/ Planet x fans!

[MrMalvalon]

The thing with this subject is its not "if" but "when" it happens to us and it will.

[tinkabeauty]

@MrMalvalon Yes I'm pretty sure it will, but not in our life time so i shouldn't worry.

[Kittywhiskers1000]

@MrMalvalon Well, you can't count on that. I personally think humanity will kill itself before any meteorite gets to us.

[gtsgtsgt]

@Axellerater because of the last part where scientists are celebrating

[N0RTHWEST]

maybe is not a good time to celebrate, but this means a lot for them.. i like to see this ppl happy.

[elasolezito]

that's why we have jupiter...

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

@Axellerater they are the people rooting for the asteroids

[gulfland]

FOR ASTONISHING FACTS, JUST TYPE IN THE BOX:

Quran and Science

 SEVEN PARTS!

[Bigpimping808]

hahah ill be laughing when one of them bitches come towards earth am goona just pop champaign wit chuck norries

[achmedbrother]

adverts on a bbc video ????

[Magn3tman]

That is some scary stuff. The biggest impact released 600x more energy than the entire worlds nuclear arsenal. If something like that were to hit us, the whole planet would be vaporized instantly.

[EmissionNebula]

@Magn3tman Awesome?

[lightningstrike555]

just remember this when you think we are the greatest source in the galaxy

[lukebccb]

Thanks to the collision with Jupiter we had to suffer thru those two shitfests called "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact".

I fucking hate michael bay.

[NANOFORGE]

17 people could'nt handle Jupiters garvity.

[DethCooki666]

@NANOFORGE you couldnt handle the spelling of gravity lol joke :)

[NANOFORGE]

@DethCooki666 Lol hehehe, using a spelling error against someone proves who pathetic you are. Don't do it in future, you knew EXACTLY what I meant.

[paleobc65]

@Axellerater  thats the aliens on jupiter lmao

[Mrhanzax]

poor Jupiter :(

[Dzeroed]

@maxice ...Learn to spell...



[olliekor]

whens the next one cause my match is on later.

[ektrules]

That comet was only 100 meters - 300 meters in diameter and it did that. wow. It's nice to know there's a bunch of those things flying around the solar system, and many we're not aware of :)

[Xx7BlAcKoPz7xX]

@ektrules lol

[Mecingo]

16 people failed a Astronomy Class.

[Mecingo]

@Joricky12 I said "16 people FAILED a Astronomy class", you can't fail it if you didn't take it. I'm making a joke out of the dislikes.

[Joricky12]

@Mecingo ooooooow ok

[maxice40]

how can we imagen if it hit earth it if it hit us there would be no earth also if there was one coming i go wilded do every thing i ever wonted quit my job ,take a crap on a cop car ,bang my gf on the queens are take a shit with the royla crown on you cach my drift

[maxice40]

@Axellerater its coz they think god will save ya well i tell ya one thing if i was him i get my white ass outta the fuck saveing other people

[ViktorDieZiege]

shoemaker levy 9

[ViktorDieZiege]

shoemaker levi 9

[TheFerdrumxbox]

it's one movie

[JPT1367]

jupiter's cock!

[mayatk1]

600 time more energy than entire worlds's nuclear arsenal? Thought we already had enough nukes to destroy mankind several times over. So... I don't understand beyond.

[NANOFORGE]

@mayatk1 No we don't. The most powerful nuke avaliable is capable of releasing as much enegry as 25 Megatons of TNT, it would take several of them to destroy a city the size of New York. Every nuke combined only has a yeild of about 100-200 Gigatons. (Gigaton = 1,000 Megatons or 1,000,000,000,000 tons of TNT). The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs released as much energy as 100 Teratons of TNT (1,000 Gigatons or 1,000,000 Megatons) which killed 70% of all life on this planet.

[BrandonTsia]

I HATE THAT LOUD ADVERTISEMENT WITH THE BEATBOXING GIRL

[fordlukebo]

@Axellerater actually theres 15. lol and i dont know why either

[puritain1]

I sure am glad Jupiter is out there shielding us with its gravity!

[true123ninja]

Is jupiter god?

[AZURA888]

The question is why if Jupiter has a lot of hydrogen, deuterium, tritium why with the high temperatures of the explotion didn't generate nuclear fusions, even if Jupiter was bigger its core could make fusion to become a star. Earth with two suns.

[nightname6]

I thought jupiter was all gas therefore shuldnt it go right through it, thats what they say to us if we landed on it , we fall right through :o

[mikelheron20]

@nightname6 Although Jupiter is described as a gas giant, unlike Saturn Jupiter is believed to have a solid core.

[nightname6]

@mikelheron20 But it does have a solid core why did it damage the outside of it ? or is that some kind of giant explosion from the gases in the air mixing with the heat/fire or it just hit the core and make a big enough explosion to see on the outside ?

[yakomuto]

Doesn't Jupiter consist mostly of Hydrogen? A highly combustible gas.

So like why isn't it lit on fire completely when this '' Explosion '' happens? lack of oxygen?

[MASTERLINKX123]

How is it a coments tale? The comet never LIVED to tell the tale XD

[TheAlexander356]

The nine fragments of this aesteroid hit only 1 week to two weeks before the day I was born. So YOUR WELCOME, the only reason they never hit the earth is because I'm here... ;P jk.

[tjigg1]

Jupiter is our solar system's vacuum cleaner.

[GGE47]

Earth did have one hit in 1900 in Siberia.It exploded before hitting the surface doing a lot of damage.It's a good thing Siberia is thinly populated.The brightness of it was seen all of the way in France

[razzinsky]

@Axellerater because they pooped there pants

[leedsfanalways]

This is completely fascinating, terrifying yet beautiful. Space is so interesting... Fireball the size of space - truly indicates how small we are im comparison to space..

[ladiestreat27]

this is serious stuff, the fireball the size of earth? if that comet comes our way, just get a chair get a good view and watch it hit earth. and lmfaoo at ( 0:59 )

[HandsomeTechtonic]

@Axellerater its 14 now :( they dont belive space exists i bet

[Axellerater]

@HandsomeTechtonic lol how simpleton do they have to be to not know about space?

[Kroll117]

we're all fucked !

[tctopcatboss]

Good thing is that the gravitational pull of Jupiter and other massive planets in our solar system pull most of the bad guys away :)

[spacecop67]

Ye were are the space cowboys? go drill a hole.

[georgelewis]

Oh my god if the comet hit the earth , why you say that?

[BBoy2Galoo]

Wait, I'm really confused. This comet seem to create a massive explosion on the surface of Jupiter but i thought its surface was basically gas/dust/storm and more gas. plus it made a mark....does that mean Jupiter is a normal solid planet. otherwise itll just swallow that comet????

[robertsolis]

@BBoy2Galoo i have the same question... have you found what really happened with the jupiter surface or if the asteroids where destroyed by the storms??

[justinheath905]

Jupiter Has A Surface Now?

[TheJuannn3]

how an asteroid can impact jupiter, i mean jupiter is a planet made of gas send me a private message

[KenGmusic1]

@TheJuannn3 Jupiter has a massive gravitational pull, it will drag the comet in towards it

[darkdjsdarkbeats101]

Drunk scientists? Never...

[WeekendWasteMonster]

To think of all the Jovians who were killed on impact, and we were celebrating here on Earth? Shame, shame.

[AI2flesh]

i was told by a black hole to sit down lol and relax.

[beyond2k8]

Jupiter: Oh that tickled!

[Qulopuaa]

religious nuts.. be gone shit,big and nothing is just aspect of our at least 11-dimensional universe- and your just surfing on it with your hate and ignorance and fairy tales is a another part of your universe-when will you learn?

[Zorgonia]

@Axellerater

because some religious nut cases don't believe in reality, only fairy tales.

[takanuvathegreat]

@Zorgonia wtf? reality is not posabe without what we religious nut cases believe in. do you realy think space time and life was just created by a big shit load of nothing? no! their is a god and he created all things. if thats how you think than your a fairy tale you ignorant douche

[AtaMbuMIL]

@takanuvathegreat

Can you tale me who created god!!!

>>the answer is our imagination<<

[takanuvathegreat]

@AtaMbuMIL no smart ass got created you. god has always been and always will be. god was never created he has no begining and no end. he imagined you and then created you. and when you die your gonna regret your beliefs

[AtaMbuMIL]

@takanuvathegreat

you do realize your talking shit!!!

[melenmike]

@takanuvathegreat we created god with our minds!!!!!!

you really think a person or force made us???

it was just nature!!!!!!!

[takanuvathegreat]

@melenmike what you think "nature" just created itself?

[melenmike]

@AtaMbuMIL no we the humans created god!!!!!!! with our mind

[Zorgonia]

@takanuvathegreat

thank you, you just made my point.
