Whats funny is if Jupiter wasn't where it was or even a few thousand KM off to the right/left, 9 out of 10 asteroids that would hit Jupiter, would hit us. So give thanks to this gigantic ball of gas
@Saxophonic - the impact that occurred on 6/3/2010 was from a small asteroid estimated at 10 meters (33 feet) across and created a fireball smaller than the 1908 Tunguska event over Siberia. The impact on 8/20/2010 was about the same size. Now the impact that happened on 7/19/2009 was larger -- about 1 kilometer (3,281 feet across)... and it created a fireball about 190 million sq km (73 million sq mi), which is a larger area than the Pacific Ocean.
@SazzieChan - different strokes for different folks... some people have more curiosity in the natural world than others. And then there are some Debbie Downers that can't be inspired by anything that involves using brain cells. =)
@ddtwenty - no. You would need at least a 14-inch telescope, and you would need to be watching Jupiter all night long for months on end to catch an asteroid impact on Jupiter. It's not an every-day occurrence -- probably once every few months.
@tuberaider1000 - sweetie, it HAS happened -- and it's been observed three times in the past 13 months, not to mention the comet impact in 1994. I feel sorry for this new generation growing up thinking that everything on YouTube is fake and that there are conspiracies around every corner.
@RenownRecon - it's exciting to astronomers because within the last 13 months, we've been witness to three comet/asteroid impacts on Jupiter. From your channel, you look like a gamer... think of a hidden hack that opens up new levels that someone's discovered in one of your favorite games, and you're having fun exploring all those levels. It's the same kind of feeling with astronomy -- this is revealing new processes about the solar system.
Another asteroid hits Jupiter on August 20, 2010. The impact was observed by an amateur astronomer, Mr. Masayuki Tachikawa in Kumamoto city. Planet Nibiru is arriving.
@djxatlanta Im not sure It was on Jupiter. i was looking at the Big Dipper constellation around 9:45pm and "boom" there it was near the Big Dipper without a telescope. Your probably right. It could have been a Iridium flare. You know more about this than I do. I live in Dallas, Tx. I dont know if my location were I saw the explosion helps.
im suprised it didnt last long, i would think an explosion that massive would leave a bright cloud of i gess fire hanging around for a few minutes atleast
@shadowace421 - there are multiple possible reasons why the flash did not last long: (1) the impactor was small, so there was relatively little matter-to-energy conversion; (2) the impact angle could have been very steep (almost straight down) with a fast velocity, so the asteroid disappeared quickly beneath the clouds; and (3) no appreciable oxygen in Jupiter's hydrogen-rich atmosphere to maintain a fireball.
@lambus1234 - I'll leave that to the astrophysicists to decide. There have been a lot of off-the-cuff estimates on the energy released by the impactor, but I'm sure more detailed estimates will be forthcoming in the months ahead. Scientists will only be interested in the energy of the fireball as a means to an end -- to calculate the mass of the impactor. And once we apply an estimated density to the impactor, we'll be able to guess what its size was.
Im not a night sky watcher, but I seen a bluish white explosion that lasted for about 2 seconds on 6/5/10. After seeing that, I turn to the internet to see if it was recorded or anyone has posted any info. Theres not a whole lot of info on that date. Was that part of the astoriod hitting jupiter? I like to know if anyone seen it too.
@Gunsmoke80 - On Jupiter or elsewhere in the sky? If it was elsewhere in the sky, it was probably an Iridium flare -- they're bright flashes of sunlight off the solar panels of GPS satellites orbiting Earth. They occur frequently throughout all parts of the world, at least a few times a week for any given location. They're predictable; many websites will give advance sighting opportunities for anywhere in the world, including estimated brightness and position in the sky.
@djxatlanta Im not sure It was on Jupiter. i was looking at the Big Dipper constellation around 9:45pm and "boom" there it was near the Big Dipper without a telescope. Your probably right. It could have been a Iridium flare. You know more about this than I do. I live in Dallas, Tx. I dont know if my location were I saw the explosion helps.
@Gunsmoke80 - I can't look at the Iridium flare data that far back, but I'm almost positive that's what it was... or it could have been another satellite reflecting sunlight. Either way, Iridium flares are very common and can be extremely bright -- bright enough to cast shadows. There are 25 flares predicted for Dallas in the next week -- some of them you might be able to see during the daytime. Do a YouTube search on Iridium Flares to see what they look like.
@djxatlanta Okay, I did some research on Iridium Flares. Yeah, thats what it was. Pretty much like the ones on the youtube videos. Your right, there are very common. Hey, thanks for the great info and helping me out.
@altezzadrifter07 - not necessarily... it was probably no more than a couple miles wide... remember from Einstein's famous equation that only a small amount of mass generates a huge amount of energy (in this case, radiant and thermal energy)... not to mention the transfer of kinetic energy from the inbound motion of the asteroid to radiant and thermal energy as it impacted Jupiter's atmosphere.
@mnwildrulz - yes, we're ALL sure. More natural occurrences happen in the solar system, much less the universe, than we can ever possibly we aware of. It's only been recently that amateur astronomers can afford to buy quality telescopes and software and afford the time to devote to observing a single astronomical object for long periods of time. If we had a space telescope observing Jupiter 24/7, we would probably catch many asteroids impacting Jupiter.
@kakashitachi99 - indeed it is. This impact, however, was observed with optical telescopes, not radio. In the field of radio astronomy, although Jupiter has strong radio emissions from its magnetic field and lightning, it is not a high priority target compared with more exotic subjects like pulsars and active galaxies.
eXPLAIN THIS: on Earth weak atmosphere (compared to jups) asteroids/ meteorites get disintegrated with no explosion whatsoever making a great deal only when they hit land. On jups an asteroid goes straight down his gargantuan atmosphere, go deep and deep into the planet witch is mostly gas somehow survives the friction and the pressure. witch normally on earth would have cost it a great deal of his mass to finally explode on mid air? or hitting jups core? how can these objects survives ?
@stjester - larger meteors can explode in Earth's atmosphere... in October 2008, scientists tracked a small asteroid heading toward Earth, and on the 6th of that month, it exploded in the air over Sudan. There are many factors at work when it comes to asteroids entering planetary atmospheres -- the size of the object, its density, its speed, its trajectory and atmospheric density of the planet... some asteroids will explode into smaller fragments; some will vaporize completely.
@djxatlanta for example last year asteroid crash on jup created a scar bout the size of the pacific ocean and that object was only 1500 feets, compared with jups mass its like one of our casual meteorites. Still it exploded and gave a big show off, for some reason these objects aint getting crushed by jups atmosphere, notice that every object that tries to decent into jups atmosphere it have like lets say 10 times more preassure than those objects on earth. Witch mean they will lose lot of mass
wow, i never thought atmospheric turbulence would be that severe for amateur astronomers. sooo glad we have space-based telescope and ground-based adaptive optics. \m/
@ibrahimarief - Astronomers can also do image stacking, which is taking dozens or hundreds of still images taken within a short time and combine them together in a special way in Photoshop or other image processing programs to reduce the noise, creating sharper pictures... basically it's a poor-man's adaptive optics technique, but it works well.
@Ivanlamperouge - not by a long shot. But fortunately, the gravitational effects of Jupiter tend to keep most large asteroids away from the inner solar system (where we are). Asteroids do come close to Earth all the time, however -- you can keep track of where they are on this page: neo[dot]jpl[dot]nasa[dot]gov/ca/
@hazelfooot Sorry, I agree with your reply, but I don't really acknowledge NASA for any technologic feats, aside from keeping cell phones and all that stuff working. All they're doing in my opinion is burning millions and millions of dollars, just so they can sit around amd stare at the sky, and occasionally send stuff into space.
@draken359 Really? I can think of countless inventions that have either been created by nasa or spin offs of something Nasa created. When you drive down the road and you see the grooves in it thank Nasa. When you pick up a coorless drill. Thank Nasa. When you use velcro, thank nasa.
Not only that but Nasa inspires young children to become scientists and engineers which is worth more then money. Most kids these days want to grow up to be pro ball players, Nasa is a glimmer of hope.
@sirMAXX77 - impossible... the flash was the complete vaporization of the asteroid. Only neutrinos can pass through planets... and in fact, they are passing through you and me all the time.

@youngmullaz3 - chill out, buddy -- I'm proud to be gay, and your kind of talk is inconsiderate and unwelcome here... most homophobes are deep in the closet because they're unable to deal with their own gay or lesbian tendencies -- I don't know what your situation is, but frankly, I don't care. Grow up and grow a set -- a real man doesn't isn't being a dick and having to call people names because they're threatened by someone's sexuality.
@No1CGIguy I don't think we have to worry about blocking astroids for Jupiter we are in between Jupiter's amazing gravity and the Sun's. So we are just right in between some amazing defense. great comment :) And something to think about.
I think nuclear weapons could protect earth. Not sure why everyone doubts the capability of them destroying asteroids. You wouldnt even have to hit it directly and it would still cause quite a bit of damage (at least knocking it off trajectory). Not to mention if you had a "earth killer" asteroid, wouldnt you rather have many tiny impacts rather than 1 gigantic huge colossal impact? I believe if we are able to spot the asteroid in path towards the earth ahead of time, we could defeat it.
@TheNightboy1 just out of shear curiosity of your shear stupidity, why did you click on this video's link? And from that are you calling yourself a fag/nerd?
@TheNightboy1 lol u watched it. If there weren't nerds in the world, You wouldn't have the damn technology you are flaming us with, dumbass... Think before you speak douche.
@Errebos Entirely no, Jupiter is thought to believe to have a rocky core, the thing about jupiter despite being a gas planet is that atmosphere has so much pressure that can crush anything entering it. Also consider that almost all asteroids (as long as they're not the size of a stadium) that hit earth never get past our own atmosphere, they heat up in the entry and explode or vaporize due to ablation.

Well don't thank him so much.."He" is the reason that that the moon is moving away from earth (that will eventually make us like Mars) and also he is the reason why Mars has no life.
@Rightist2 I doubt you'd want that to land anywhere on earth. Your chance of survival would be very slim. If you did survive, it wouldn't be for long and you'd probably wish you didn't.
the energy transfer must have been of amazing proportions to be able to produce such a large flash on that massive planet, and for it be visable through the miles of gas/dust on the surface of the planet is incedible.
@rjmart79 - the asteroid is now part of Jupiter... the flash you saw was the asteroid vaporizing in the planet's atmosphere with an explosion a good fraction of the size of Earth. This happened last year with another asteroid and in 1994 with a comet... and scientists are looking back at telescope observations going back hundreds of years; we're finding out that this may be a common occurrence with Jupiter.
It''s good to have that gas giant watching out for us. Better there than here. Props to mighty planet Jupiter. And a fantastic catch by the eagle-eyed amateur astronomers of the impact.
@CochranRB1 - I'm not the one who captured this video; it is from Australian astrophotographer Anthony Wesley. He's captured some amazing high quality images of Jupiter through the years (and was the first to discover last year's asteroid impact on Jupiter) -- I suggest you check out his website at acquerra[dot]com[dot]au/astro/
@kpheider - indeed... it would be impossible to see any impactors of this size coming in -- they're far to small to track. And even the largest space-based and Earth telescopes that COULD track small asteroids on collision course with Jupiter wouldn't have the observatory time to do so full-time.
@Astroswanny - I'm not the one who captured this video; it is from Australian astrophotographer Anthony Wesley.

Jupiter is our bodyguard but it can also be our worst enemy. If we end up in a position where Earth is blocking the asteroids path to jupiter.
No1CGIguy 1 year ago
@No1CGIguy I don't think we have to worry about blocking astroids for Jupiter we are in between Jupiter's amazing gravity and the Sun's. So we are just right in between some amazing defense. great comment :) And something to think about.

I think nuclear weapons could protect earth. Not sure why everyone doubts the capability of them destroying asteroids. You wouldnt even have to hit it directly and it would still cause quite a bit of damage (at least knocking it off trajectory). Not to mention if you had a "earth killer" asteroid, wouldnt you rather have many tiny impacts rather than 1 gigantic huge colossal impact? I believe if we are able to spot the asteroid in path towards the earth ahead of time, we could defeat it.

Errebos 1 year ago
@Errebos Yes, it is a gas planet. If you read above it vaporized the meteor.
XICHIBANAssassinX 1 year ago
@Errebos Entirely no, Jupiter is thought to believe to have a rocky core, the thing about jupiter despite being a gas planet is that atmosphere has so much pressure that can crush anything entering it. Also consider that almost all asteroids (as long as they're not the size of a stadium) that hit earth never get past our own atmosphere, they heat up in the entry and explode or vaporize due to ablation.

the energy transfer must have been of amazing proportions to be able to produce such a large flash on that massive planet, and for it be visable through the miles of gas/dust on the surface of the planet is incedible.

rjmart79 1 year ago 6
@rjmart79 - the asteroid is now part of Jupiter... the flash you saw was the asteroid vaporizing in the planet's atmosphere with an explosion a good fraction of the size of Earth. This happened last year with another asteroid and in 1994 with a comet... and scientists are looking back at telescope observations going back hundreds of years; we're finding out that this may be a common occurrence with Jupiter.

Anthony uses a telescope with a 14.5" mirror. The impactor would have been too small to see before the flash. Jupiter is 142,000km in diameter!
kpheider 1 year ago
@kpheider - indeed... it would be impossible to see any impactors of this size coming in -- they're far to small to track. And even the largest space-based and Earth telescopes that COULD track small asteroids on collision course with Jupiter wouldn't have the observatory time to do so full-time.
