NEW NASA IMAGES INDICATE OBJECT HITS JUPITER - JPL (REPLAY)

Scientists have found evidence that another object has bombarded Jupiter,
exactly 15 years after the first impacts by the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. Following up
on a tip by amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley that a new dark "scar" had suddenly
appeared on Jupiter, scientists at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory used NASAs
Infrared Telescope Facility at Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and gathered evidence indicating
an impact. New infrared images show the likely impact point was near Jupiters
south polar region.

  • That was my space taxi I ordered pizza from neptune and gave them the wrong adress. my bad

  • i cant understand why masses of people are in stress because of this swine flu that killed a total of 40 people over the world and at the same time nobody seems to care about a giant meteor the size of earth crashes into our solar-system.

    its jupiter the biggest planet in our solar-system (if jupiter would be any bigger it would ignite and become a star) so that planet can take it but what if it was crashed into Mars? its only 1 planet closer to us.

    (i think people dont even know that)

  • The explosion left a scar on the clouds of Jupiters upper atmosphere larger than the Earths. If that would of hit us it would of split the Earth in half, thing is that asteroids was torn in half by Jupiters immesne gravity and magnetosphere and it exploded when it hit Jupiters upper clouds, in other words it barely even ticked Jupiter.

  • Other planets: oh crap we are all gunna die!

    Jupiter: Chill the fuck down guys I got this..

  • jupiter farted XD

  • I wish someone made a realistic film about what a collision between our planets in the solar system would look like.

  • @veryfuck people are small minded, but its only out of a sense of hopelessness... People tend to not concern themselves with things they have no control over, such as life/death, thats why the uniformed blindly give the responsibility to a God. Sheep

  • @moontoot ...30 light years or its free...

  • is a serious warning from "someone"....after "you" just kiss the moon....(impact size of earth???)

  • Jupiter is the Great Protector, Do not soil his name heathen, lest you feel the power of my broadsword.

  • Should I care way too much if some random person clicked a button?
