i hate simulations and animations

i like just real videos and images from hubble, cassini, voyager, galileo

The animation is correct, Comet tails are generally directed away from the sun.

@SheisseFicken Thanks, Jupiter!

Next time you think to yourself "I am so glad I didn't get hit in the head by a space rock the size of a whale." you should thank Jupiter. Its been takin em for the team since 6billion bc.

@inphasesith yeah, considering the explosions were bigger than the earth itself LOL

@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.

@saladamix1 Probably there were never video captured by them. Only images among with some are in inferred and ultravoilet.

Those asteroids just violated Jupiter!!!

[inphasesith]

That would have killed earth easily 10 times
