the jupiter impact july 2009

Jupiters new scar has been photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The huge mark was left when a comet or asteroid plowed into the planet.
The image above is the sharpest yet of the Pacific Oceansized impact site, which was first observed by worlds luckiest amateur astronomer, Anthony Wesley. The new shot was taken by Hubbles newest toy, the Wide Field Camera 3, which was installed during the most-recent servicing mission to the telescope in May.
The collision is believed to be the largest since Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 busted into 21 pieces and slammed into the solar systems largest planet 15 years ago.
If whatever hit Jupiter — and astronomers might never know what it was — had instead struck Earth, it would have caused catastrophic damage to human civilization.

Brought chills on my arm, and my hair raised. Not because of the meteorite, but knowing that I was actually looking into part of that dense gas atmosphere that is so dense it is blacker than black. Just eerie. Just think, look how black it was, even with the meteor lighting things up, and that was a large meteor.
