COMET SL9 HITS JUPITER

[tylersaxby]

Jupiter... our big bodyguard :]

[JFMatador]

if jupiter doesn't have a surface, how did it hit it and make an explosion?

[za909]

@JFMatador It does, but only about 3% of the planet is a solid core but there IS surface on Jupiter. I'm not even sure, it broke into smaller fragments earlier as it was orbiting around Jupiter and since the atmosphere is a lot more dense there it must have gotten hotter as it was going towards the core.

[kieran369]

What the fuck was that ?

[edwardvalenzuala]

Thx, Jupiter. Nice play. You worth a MVP. XD

[Deathcampforcutie]

It's funny that all these geniuses no everything about Jupiter! Why don't u use the little muscle u have left and take ur fat asses out of that straining computer chairs and go do something with that knowledge?!? Cuz I'm tired of my tax dollars going to u fat fucks!!!

As for Jupiter: you just keep on amazing me :)

[DeFraans]

for those who don't know the size of the planet: it's about 10 times larger (in diameter, not in volume) than earth, and the Sun is again 10 times larger than Jupiter.

[V45Rider]

@DeFraans Yup, but it's actually closer to 11, making earth closer to being 1/110 sun diameter ☺ Just for fun, how many earth masses does it have?

[DeFraans]

@V45Rider dunno :D

[V45Rider]

@DeFraans Yikes, kid... you have the internet in front of you ☺While you're at it, look up the oort cloud!

[DeFraans]

@V45Rider Well why don't you if you asked the question :p I'm not really interested

[Malfunction0982]

@DeFraans The Sun has to be about 1000 times bigger than Jupiter.

[DeFraans]

@Malfunction0982 has to, you think, but it is not. It's only 10 times ;) (in diameter, not volume)

[AmoralEngineer]

That was chuck norris landing on jupiter

[NorthTX99]

@AmoralEngineer LOL too funny!



[Jadicorn]

Jupiter always has are back.

[gogtjgog]

those flash are birght enough to light the earth up. flashes of the birghtes h bombs are nothing to it. and i herd the blasts were large enough to incinerate the earth

[MegaCrystalMeth]

too bad jupiters dont have flares for guided rocks

[xmanmarkk]

i have born at that day.

[ilovemusic6666]

Jupiter is twice the size of earth. :O

[fenceman456]

@ilovemusic6666 lol no its not its like 121 times bigger and could hold 1330 earths inside it

[ReneeNme]

@ilovemusic6666 Don't know where on Earth ( pun intended ) you got that idea from, but Jupiters diameter is a little over 11 times that of Earths diameter. I would disregard fenceman456 saying " its like 121 times bigger ". They must have been talking about mass and it's still wrong. Jupiters mass is 318 times larger than Earths, not 121. I will give them the " could hold 1330 earths inside it " part though. That's pretty close.

[KingWing777]

did it died?!

[wolfondhizzie]

All the other planets "oh shit were gonna die"

Jupiter "Chill the fuck out I got this"

[bandres420]

@wolfondhizzie LOL

[ionutz95ionutz]

they lok like little shiny things on the screen but those crashes were bigger then the size of earth imagine such a comet coliding with earth it will be pulverised!thank god we havent been hit by that!And hope that we will NEVER WILL!

[SimonB198207]

i remember about that time, there was a nun who was scaremongering that SL9 was going to hit the Earth - despite being millions of miles away...

[Neo1521]

WTF! I´VE JUST GOT HERE, WHAT DID I MISS??

THE WORLD IS GOING TO FINISH OR WTF??

[portpower27]

This is pretty scary considering Jupiter is 11 times the size of earth. That asteroid would have sent us to extinction.

[kjordon1]

@portpower27 actually Jupiter is about 1000 times the earth's size.

[g3tr00t3d]

@Tarn1968 the world used to be flat...

[TheTIMEBUSTER]

ANUNAKI VS HUMANS !

[MisericordiaVerdader]

God put Jupiter there to protect the earth from flying rocks, if it wasnt for Jupiter the earth wouldnt exist

[project25012]

@MisericordiaVerdader your last sentence is probably true..but they're about as much as flying rocks as the earth is one.. and...really...god?...

[askjiir]

@project25012

It's a turn of phrase.  No need to get upset.

[sirwilliam0524]

@MisericordiaVerdader Yeah, god put it there, you fucking idiot.

[askjiir]

@sirwilliam0524

Calm down.

[OTSTRETFORD]

@MisericordiaVerdader God put Jupiter there to protect Earth... HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA Get of scientific pages. NOW!

[askjiir]

@OTSTRETFORD

Please, calm down. It's just a way to express oneself.  No need to get so worked up if someone just mentions the G word once. Dont be so intolerant.

[OTSTRETFORD]

@askjiir I would rather be intolerant, it is a ridiculous thing to believe in and there is nothing wrong with laughing at people...

[askjiir]

@OTSTRETFORD

Then continue to be intolerant if you want too.

[OTSTRETFORD]

@askjiir Shall do, can Anti-theists not be intolerant? You should really try to tell Christopher Hitchens that he can not ridicule religion and see what response you get.

[crocerla]

@MisericordiaVerdader you realize that theres an asteroid belt in between mars and Jupiter dont you?

[nickharvey7]

Nice video good graphics!!

[a588956]

that's pretty incredible, it may not look like much but if Shoemaker did collide with Earth, it would of easily wiped it out.

[LambOfNile]

@a588956 absolutely dude, each of the fireballs you see in the vid of the comet hitting jupiter is as large as earth, hence, if SL9 had hit earth, there would be no more earth :[. pretty amazing though :D

[askjiir]

@a588956

I think it looks Very much

[Buishido]

Wait a minute how did a comet put a hole in Jupiter it's gas intresting and if that happened then planet x will get sucked in by Jupiter lol society is funny 5/5 stars wow lol planet x is out of the picture whoever thinks its gonna end the world =) lol

[YonOtto]

planet x....if it exists... is a big as jupiter... those 2 planets coming together wud be catastrophic to the solar system.

Jupiter has a solid core btw... so yes... the pieces of the comet did have sumthing to slam into.

[gmokial]

There is no planet X. Planet X was proposed as a trans neptunian planet with a mass large enough to cause gravitational perturbations in neptune's orbit, which would account for the descrepancies seen in neptunes predicted orbit. These were later corrected by more accurate measurements of neptune's orbit, and the need for a planet X disappeared.

[YonOtto]

@gmokial sounds like a perfect cover story to me XD

[golfnut20]

It disappoints me seeing so many idiots with their conspiracy theories on astronomy videos.

Honestly, trying to create a second sun? You do realise that nuclear material crashing into a planet will not cause nuclear fusion, which is imperative to the creation and survival of a star?

[CFHQSJ23290301]

Is it not too dangerous to play with fire and gas?

[xpaladoshes]

why do the north and south poles glow?

[tiochel]

Some say it is the same aurora boreale we do have. Others consider the gases glowing like neon...

But who knows?

Every year they come with a different theory about the same subjects.

We gotta pay attention, but instead of tryng to explain it I'd prefer to see the the perfection of the nature.

[treytrey619]

JUPITER GOT HIT AGAIN!!!!1 just yesterday or 2 or 3

[SSBloxLines]

SL-9: Shoemaker Levy 9.

[merlin17784]

im too young to remember this, but was it really heading for earth originally?

[b03tz]

i think not :)

[sciencoking]

SL9 was a comet? didn´t know that

[sk8b1]

"holes" on the "surface"? jupiter is a gas planet, there is no "surface". Nor are there any "holes".

[sciencoking]

but the theoretical 'hole' the biggest chunk would have caused was twice as big as the earth itself.

[Germanboy567]

i think correct me if im wrong but there are some solid spots on the south pole of jupiter?

[GJGRIFFITHS0628]

yeh I think your correct with that budd but I'm not to sure I'm sure I've heard that once before though

[GJGRIFFITHS0628]

I'm sure it's been confirmed that jupiter has a solid core but thats about it

[Germanboy567]

oh ok

[ArtixT7]

juprt is a gas giant, but it does have sme solds in it, it wouldn't be called a collide if it was just gas, their called giast giants because of a atmosphere made of of gas and no much sold on the surphace/

[thevividhaze]

They would be gases on earth but because it is so cold on Jupiter they are liquids

[starsoffyre]

This shows Jupiter's role as a cosmic vacuum cleaner. Imagine if it wasn't there and that comet happpened to head for earth.

[ACMalloch]

the g fragment of the comet gave off enoguh energy to be the equivalent of 1 hiroshima nuclear bomb going off every second for 13 years.

[djbokka1973]

that woz pants

[JesusChaser7]

Okay then.

[JESUSANDALBERT4LIFE]

i wonder did anyone else pray that those comets would hit Jupiter?

[JesusChaser7]

I don't know.

[marzipan0002]

great our world could possibly be destroyed and that comet just goes in

[R4538L]

Thanks for showing this. What is hard to fathom is the fact that those comets where hitting something almost 1,460x the size of the Earth.

[loanrangerjohn]

Guess what? I Acctuly Met David H. Levy! I mean that was AMAZING!

[8o8ThaiSoul]

dude we were so lucky

my teach told me this was supose 2 crash into us but hit jupiter instead

[d2clannet]

Ummm space is very awsome, but not like some of you not going to masturbate to it XD

[Auzy0]

omfg.. lol and wow @ Alfrunk...

maybe it inspired you or something. very nice..

anyway, neat video.

[ChawPowda]

wooah

[fjosman]

Infrared footage, dude..

[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

[Alfrunk]

NEVER before have I experienced such sexual freedom as i did as I gently touched myself to this. THink of the heat, the friction... oh god it's amazing. To think that someone wold try to disparage such beauty and sefl-exploration is as confusing as it is disgusting. Poor, repressed, soul.

[TheGuyWithTheSniper]

@Alfrunk LOLwut

[jakethemusician]

i wrote a song about this. ha ha

[Ballz0Helmeto]

There's this guy RichardTrekkerTheII who put a video up in response to all this scare tactic madness and really what he says isn't all good news, but it really helps.

[calcinate]

lets just look at this like a bomb with a timer on it that you cant tell the triger time. it could go off at any time from ...now... to 5000ad me I would put some distance between me and the bomb.

[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

[Ballz0Helmeto]

私はスペイン語を話す、女性陰部

[blyth25]

lololololoolololllo

[ziomal999]

lollol

[baiteme]

lol

[Ballz0Helmeto]

what's with all the "lol's", you fucking dicklickers. You're all twats that write "lol". Go fuck something that's still alive.

[ChemicalMikeUK]

is lol'ing spam??

[nechooligan91]

no, i posted it because i hate all those 'lol's myself

[ChemicalMikeUK]

yeah i know , but your comment was marked as spam so thats why i said that. peace :)

[kspence444]

nice lol thanks for sharing

[lllllJackzlllll]

congratulation

[mahnarch]

Wow. you had more time than I did! lol.

[ErikGunshot]

@Alfrunk There is a new genre called "Space Porno!"

[Adsem]

nice images, would have really sucked if the earth was hit by that, thank God for our friendly griant meteor magnet Jupiter :-)

[laurens890]

If we were hit by that you wouldn't have typed that message, I think

[italiangamer5]

@laurens890 no 100% a small little nickel made the huge whole in mexico , so if they hit us , boom new world

[MaGiiKsx]

@italiangamer5 boom NO world* :)
