Just stumbled across this, trying to find a video of this and verify

SOMETHING JUST HIT JUPITER: Last night, German astronomer Harald Paleske was watching the shadow of Io create a solar eclipse in the atmosphere of Jupiter when something unexpected happened. "A bright flash of light surprised me," he says. "It could only be an impact." Follow the arrows to the fireball:

That is its shadow or one of Jupiter's moons shadow

Pretty cool. I wonder if it was a comet? I remember when Shoemaker-Levy hit all those years ago.

One of the awesome intricacies of our solar system is the almost circular orbit of the planets around the sun, most extra-solar planetary systems have very elliptical orbits. And another fascinating feature of our solar system is that the smaller planets are in the inner orbits, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars. Then we have the asteroid belt and the huge planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn and Uranus on the outer solar system. Most known extra-planetary solar system have the larger planets in the inner orbits. This is very important because the outer planets are so huge their mass would wreck havoc on our orbit and rotation. They also act as shields protecting the inner planets from large extra-solar debris such as comets and asteroids.

The size of the impact? Isn't that bigger the Earth?

Well that was pretty cool! I wonder if any info will come out on if this object was being tracked and how large it really was.

That had to be a massive explosion.

Me too but this didn't break up and if it's real it was huge.

Seemed kinda quick. I don't know why, but I would have expected the flash to be visible slightly longer than that.


I wonder how long the eclipse lasts. Just curious how long it takes that moon to travel across the face of the planet.

The flash was the size of Earth

Yea watching over and over,IIRC it's much larger than Shoemaker Levy

Lo is a funky looking place. All sorts of things going on there.

which is part of the reason I would have expected it to last longer.

Very much so, again I believe the biggest impact chunk from the Shoemaker-Levy comet was larger than earth too.

I don't know if anyone watches mrMBB333 on youtube, but in his latest video he mentions something about jupiter and a big red circle near it.
Around the 3 minute mark:

The Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts left visable evidence in the atmosphere of Jupiter. This video does not. Could this be a thruster firing on the Space-X capsule or other Earth orbital object that happened to occure when the video was being made?

The way it seems to maintain size but wiggle around and not leave any disturbance in the Jovian atmosphere seems strange to me.



It would be similar to this but on a larger scale.
