I like the animation. The video shows that the impacts took place over just a few hours but in reality it took about 5 days for all the impacts to occur. Jupiter would have made at least 10 rotations on its axis in that time.
Jupiter are always saving our ass. I don't know shit about this stuff but I heard Earth and Jupiter are getting more closer everyday and one day we will have a Collision with Jupiter.
@TheMartindale28 i don't think so, if Earth is getting closer to Jupiter and getting farther from the Sun, Earth would've experienced global cooling not global warming, since it would receive less heat
What I'm saying is, the difference in heat received by moving slightly further from the sun is ridiculously small by comparison with the effects of global warming. It's like saying "If I walk up this mountain I'm bound to get warmer because then I'll be closer to the sun."
So if Earth were moving towards jupiter we would not get a noticeable change in heat received unless we moved a huge distance.
@seamusg i see your point. yes, it's true. but if earth really is moving towards jupiter, in a rate that it one day would collide, at some point earth would start cooling down, since earth to jupiter IS a very large distance, large enough that at some point the heat received from the sun would be small enough that global warming would stop and global cooling would start.
@seamusg and of course, that is under the assumption that the sun's temperature does not increase, and earth's atmospheric composition remains the same.
Ill admit, this way we at least know Jupiter has a solid surface and it not just a big ball of gas. No way in HELL that these (with what I heard, they were around Earth size, but correct me if Im wrong, please) that they could deteriorate at their speeds before impact, even with Jupiters massive gravity
@bowlofarthritus "Earth Size" ? The largest fragments were less than 2 kilometres across. What would Jupiters gravity have to do with their deterioration? Gravity just attracted them towards Jupiter. It's the friction of hitting the atmosphere at over 3000kph that would burn them up.
@GRP175 There were precious few pictures, and no videos as I recall. The event was taking place on Jupiter's far side, and there weren't any space probes in the vicinity either. So all we have is telescope pictures, mostly from the after effects of the impacts. I think they might have caught the flash of one, but that was it.
A shame, it woulda been interesting to see up close I bet.
You fucking idiot. If it weren't for Saturn, it is most likely that none of us would be here because Saturn catches almost every comet or asteroid that is on a collision course with Earth. If Saturn didn't exist then the Earth would probably be scarred by shoemaker levy 9, and lots of lives could have been lost, including YOURS
Why nobody can't just upload video without stupid music and american fat faces, real or close to real jupiter without fakes with right orbit and winds on it goddamnit
verycrazyghoul, are we watching the same video? This video shows a computer-generated version, or so it seems.
I suspect the actual "video" for this would be tediously long and boring (hours and hours).
Also, I didn't hear any music or see any faces.
Perhaps you'd enjoy one of the science/astronomy websites with actual footage? Of course, actual footage might mean any number of forms, not all of them teenie-bopper, idiot-friendly.
By the way, verycrazyghoul, without the American space program, and the American's that discovered this comet in the first place, you wouldn't even be aware of this event.
Why don't you make a video about it yourself and upload it so we can all make stupid comments about it? Then we can repay this huge favour you have done us by pointing out all the fat american faces in this vid
It's crazy. You can't appreciate how fragile our earth is until you see something like this. Each of those blasts were the diameter of earth. According to Stephen Hawking, he figures if mankind can go another 200 years without blowing ourselves up, by that point, we should have the technology to start colonizing other planets. At that point, we could ensure that the human species lives on.
Amen. I don't even give us 200 years though. :-( There is a very short period of time in which an intelligent species has the capacity to leave it's homeworld behind, while simultaneously possessing the technology to annihilate itself. Hopefully, the former occurs before the latter, but we humans don't really appear to be into the whole self preservation thing.
It saddens me space exploration isn't a national endeavor the way it used to be.
There are some basic problems with this idea though, like the fact that the closest system of unexplored (and therefore possibly inhabitable) planets is farther than a few generations of human life. Then there is the issue of cosmic radiation, which is the main thing stopping us from travelling through space for any significant duration. We have to invent wormhole technology, otherwise we'll never get far enough, fast enough and safe enough, to make a difference.
I think if we worked on developing shaped fission propulsion, which is an idea about 50 years old, we'd have a chance. That doesn't solve the cosmic radiation problem you correctly pointed out. Shielding is heavy, and hard to launch. I just wish there was a more active program for exploration.
Teh rotationspeed from Jupiter i think is unknown,because there a atmosheric storm on it,and different strips.I think, comets have a speed from 100000km/h and have the tail not from the sun, they have it from the rubbingtemperature through the protonwinds from the sun. nearer at the sun the protondensity is higher and the tail is taller.when the comet flies away, there is no realy tail more.
the comet i think came from the inner milkyway and there they have the fastest speed,because in our galaxycenter is a black hole and speed up the comet very fast.i think very close to light speed.and when the comet arrives our sunsystem.he has the slowest speed.our sunsystem is very far away from the galaxycenter.
are you stupid? nothing visible travels even close to light speed lol .... maybe you don't realize how fast light travels ... light speed is 300,000,000 METRES PER SECOND or 10,800,000,000 km/hr ... nothing travels near that fast except rays, waves, and particles ... not entire comets ...
A single comet would really screw things up if it hit Earth, but Jupiter can take several hits and keep on rolling. Man, now Jupiter is going to be insufferable, boasting how tough it is and getting all the chicks. :(
@perfectionbox Maybe Jupiter was getting all the chicks, but I understand that Pluto was one of those chicks. And that bitch is cold. So cold in fact that apparently Jupiter has suffered, I don't know if this is a word, but I'll try it anyway, a cryo-orchiectomy.
its impossible to leave the planet. there no life forms yet discovered by mankind. our technolgies still lack. as we have to find another earth which probably exists
this is true i once saw a movie in my ipc class that talks about the draw backs of traveling to outer space and one of them is is that we don't have the technology just yet.
between 16 an 22nd july 1994 over 20 fragments of comet shoemaker levy 9 collided with jupiter,the largest was around 3-4km across,the piece called the G fragment exploded with the energy of roughly 600 times the worlds nuclear arsenal,or 6 million megatons of tnt,sheeeeeet maan!!!
tell that to the government...actually they have other idiotic crap to worry about (Irakistan...I guess bush meant iraq and afghanistan). what about global warming...come to think of it we need to get of this rock.
Where do you want to go? If we go to Mars or some other planet, we still have the chance to be bombarded. And to travel to some distant solar system is impossible with technologies of nowadays.
#1: Right. It takes 10h to rotate one revolution around it's axel.
#2: Wrong. It takes 12 years to rotate around the sun. If it would've took 91 years then we'd have some huge conflicts between Uranus that takes 84 years to rotate around the sun.
We should be thankful. Without Jupiter's massive gravity attracting comets and stuff to it instead of somewhere else, we could have been hit my meteors much sooner than now.
did you know that jupiter has the compositions of a star if it was bigger it would be dense enough in the middle to cause so much friction it would start the nuclear fusion reaction that fuels stars but luckily its not this would make earth uninhabitable
Thats true: in fact, Jupiter would only need to be 5 times more massive(meaning mass, not size) to fire up as a star!Thats a pretty close call isnt it??We would have had 2 suns in the sky, not that we would be here to see it!!
In fact, without Jupiter, the earth would be hit by comets and such up to 8000 times more often. Thank you Jupiter and let's appreciate our place in the universe. I feel so small.
Could there be an arguement for Jupiter actually having a "ground" surface? Or is it simply the materials the actual "surface" is made from are dense enough, when combined with the physical forces produced on "impact"(size, weight, speed, entry angle, density of comet, etc) the meteor explodes.
Or are the "craters" left due to the displacement of the "surface" materials, and the meteor is burned up as it travels through them?
Traxus (6 months ago):Its hitting the atmosphere. Think of it this way. Water isn't solid right, you can move right into it. But if you were to jump out of an airplane into the ocean, you could hit the surface moving so quickly you'd be killed. These comets were moving at 60km/s, so they really would "hit" the atmosphere and explode.
deep under the outer atmosphere the compression, pressure and temperature should be so high that a planet wide ocean of liquid metal is formed from the gases. But still there is no solid surface.
When comets explode on the face of Earth, they don't touch the ground either. They explode because it compresses the air below so tight that it reaches a temperature so high that it explodes.

ive got a question that would have changed jupiters orbit . by how much and what effect will it have on us remember jupiters gravity is so strong it woblles the sun
The comets impact was nowhere near massive enough to affect Jupiters orbit. Jupiter is huge and very heavy. It eats rocks like that easily.
To actually alter Jupiters orbit you'd need something much faster and heavier then that. Those comets may look like much. But its really like throwing tiny pebbles at a brontosaurus.
The scar left on jupiter is visible a year later. After this incident the government was convince to fund a program to find 90% of near earth astroroids/comets by 2008. The funding is a petty 4 million dollars a year. Something that could cause human extinction, u think they would take it more seriously.
the earth will be destroyed if that thing hit the earth many people will die or no body will live in our solar system its a good thing that jupiter is the that has been hit not the earth
The fragments are the rests of Shoemaker-Levy 9, this comet was broken in 21 pieces by the Jupiter's gravitational forces, and the pieces were impacting one by one into this planet.

lol, that was useless, the intense gravity would make the meteorites be compressed in their own mass, and the acids flowing in the atmosphere would digest them b4 hitten the surface (if there is 1 on jupiter)
This made headline in 1994, the image isn't real, but Hubble space telescope did record this incident. Cant' remember the exact statistic, but force involve was astronomical. It as well into the gigatons equivalent of TNT. It hit jupiter at somewhere around 140 000 miles per hour.

Jupiter rotates something like 10 hours / day. Put a penny on a foodplate. The penny is the earth, the foodplate is jupiter.

um it takes 11 YEARS for jupiter to rotae fully
ssj444goku 4 years ago
It takes 10 hrs. to rotate, and 91 years to go around the sun.
OMIGHTYGUY 4 years ago
#1: Right. It takes 10h to rotate one revolution around it's axel.
#2: Wrong. It takes 12 years to rotate around the sun. If it would've took 91 years then we'd have some huge conflicts between Uranus that takes 84 years to rotate around the sun.

That was:
#1: Not the actual video.
#2: extremely high speed
The whole event of all the collisions took somewhere along the lines for 3-4 months.

It didn't take 11 years. it started and ended in 1989 I believe.

the whole event took 6 days

The entire thing took 6 days in 1993, not 3-4 months and it happened in 1994.

We should be thankful. Without Jupiter's massive gravity attracting comets and stuff to it instead of somewhere else, we could have been hit my meteors much sooner than now.

very true
did you know that jupiter has the compositions of a star if it was bigger it would be dense enough in the middle to cause so much friction it would start the nuclear fusion reaction that fuels stars but luckily its not this would make earth uninhabitable
pajamaninja367 4 years ago
Thats true: in fact, Jupiter would only need to be 5 times more massive(meaning mass, not size) to fire up as a star!Thats a pretty close call isnt it??We would have had 2 suns in the sky, not that we would be here to see it!!

In fact, without Jupiter, the earth would be hit by comets and such up to 8000 times more often. Thank you Jupiter and let's appreciate our place in the universe. I feel so small.

How large was this comet when it was in one piece?
dbsti300 4 years ago
dunno but some of the pieces were up to 2 km in diameter... that would've vaporized all of us had it hit earth.. Lol.

Could there be an arguement for Jupiter actually having a "ground" surface? Or is it simply the materials the actual "surface" is made from are dense enough, when combined with the physical forces produced on "impact"(size, weight, speed, entry angle, density of comet, etc) the meteor explodes.
Or are the "craters" left due to the displacement of the "surface" materials, and the meteor is burned up as it travels through them?
Just guess work really?

Traxus (6 months ago):Its hitting the atmosphere. Think of it this way. Water isn't solid right, you can move right into it. But if you were to jump out of an airplane into the ocean, you could hit the surface moving so quickly you'd be killed. These comets were moving at 60km/s, so they really would "hit" the atmosphere and explode.
anglepegasi 4 years ago
deep under the outer atmosphere the compression, pressure and temperature should be so high that a planet wide ocean of liquid metal is formed from the gases. But still there is no solid surface.
ujbx 3 years ago
correction- not liquid metal but metallic hydrogen.
ujbx 3 years ago
Well underneath the liquid, logic would indicate that pressure would force the matter to also become solid eventually.

if jupiter doenst have any "ground"surface,why comets explotes?
FULANODETAL 4 years ago
When comets explode on the face of Earth, they don't touch the ground either. They explode because it compresses the air below so tight that it reaches a temperature so high that it explodes.

um but some asteoirds and other solid objects made huge craters when they impact(except in tunguska),but levy 9¿crasehd against surface of jupiter?

ive got a question that would have changed jupiters orbit . by how much and what effect will it have on us remember jupiters gravity is so strong it woblles the sun
jimboandgetsmashed 4 years ago
Earths gravity also causes the sun to wobble as does our moon and everything else in the solar system, and every other solar system to their suns....
jackkenyon1991 4 years ago
The comets impact was nowhere near massive enough to affect Jupiters orbit. Jupiter is huge and very heavy. It eats rocks like that easily.
To actually alter Jupiters orbit you'd need something much faster and heavier then that. Those comets may look like much. But its really like throwing tiny pebbles at a brontosaurus.

The scar left on jupiter is visible a year later. After this incident the government was convince to fund a program to find 90% of near earth astroroids/comets by 2008. The funding is a petty 4 million dollars a year. Something that could cause human extinction, u think they would take it more seriously.

wat..? it was becuz of jupiter's huge gravitational force and we no gravity goes to the center so jupiter pulled the comet in

Did the rocks/metories/comets had so much friction that hydrogen and other gases went on fire and they made a firey explosion?

The fragments are the rests of Shoemaker-Levy 9, this comet was broken in 21 pieces by the Jupiter's gravitational forces, and the pieces were impacting one by one into this planet.

lol, that was useless, the intense gravity would make the meteorites be compressed in their own mass, and the acids flowing in the atmosphere would digest them b4 hitten the surface (if there is 1 on jupiter)

This made headline in 1994, the image isn't real, but Hubble space telescope did record this incident. Cant' remember the exact statistic, but force involve was astronomical. It as well into the gigatons equivalent of TNT. It hit jupiter at somewhere around 140 000 miles per hour.
