Incredible... One More Big Impact On Jupiter!

- -
In mid-September, another asteroid plunged into the thick atmosphere of the giant of the Solar System, disintegrating in a flash of light. Since 1994, the year of the first incredible collision, that of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. This is Another Big impact On Jupiter.

This is the eighth event that testifies to the ability of Jupiter to attract comets and small asteroids. A phenomenon numerically in continuous ascent thanks to the always better techniques of digital shooting...
A phenomenon that deserves to be told in all its historical path.

It is September 13. In Brazil, the sun has just set. For many astronomy enthusiasts, it is the beginning of an observing night like many others.
Jupiter is on the eastern horizon, about 25° high. José Luis Pereira, an astrophotographer from São Caetano do Sul, just south of São Paulo, begins to capture the planet in high resolution with his 275 mm diameter reflector telescope. As he has been doing since 2004, when he began a methodical monitoring activity of the gas giant.
The evening offers the meridian passage of the great red spot, but the seeing is not constant. After a few good images, the conditions worsen and the shots become muddy and poor in detail, so that the temptation comes to disassemble everything and go to bed waiting for better nights.
So the acquisition of footage is interrupted and the mouse moves the cursor to the button that would turn off the computer, but for some reason, Jose hesitates ... and it is by chance, intuition, or simple dedication, he decides not to click, but to give himself another half hour of waiting.

he was going to put his telescope away but waited and luckily witnessed an impact that happened about 45 minutes earlier ! talk about being at the right place at the right time !!!

Jupiter says, "I got your back"

Jupiter is the vacuum cleaner of our solar system. Good thing we have it.

"Yesterday is history"
"Tomorrow is mystery"
"Today is gift "❤️
"That why it's called present "💕💕💞😘

Thank you " Insane curiosity " and José Luis Pereira for this epic mile stone event!
Good to know!

Blessings

One curious result of this is that it could explain a lot of the Fermi Paradox.

Jupiter, the shield that guards the relms of men

[titodalessandro]

I would bet that over the millions of years, Jupiter has saved earth from total destruction.

[lamdelmundo]

Jupiter is that tank player that everyone wants in their party

[alfredodedarc]

Life would not exist on earth without our gas giant vacuum cleaners.

[bubbly_boba]

I have been binge watching your videos, I love the subject so much!
(+ you got a new subscriber :D)

Jupiter is that protective big brother and savior of the Mother Earth xD

The notion that the increase in asteroid crashes on Jupiter is "a phenomenon numerically in continuous ascent thanks to the always better techniques of digital shooting" may one day prove incorrect. The ancients knew our solar system to be a place of crossing with another system and expected that visit to begin somewhere between 2010's Phoenix and 2022's Return ... with plenty of expected astronomical observations in between (birth of the Aion, return of the Purusha, return of the Lion, the Virgin Birth of 2017, etc). Corsi e ricorsi storici.

Jupiter is our giant sized bouncer at the door keeping out those causing disturbance.

Jupiter doing what we won't, saving Earth...

Thanks to the scars left from the Shoemaker Levy 9 fragments that impacted, we got a glimpse into how Jupiter's outer cloud layer forms and reforms. The impact makes a big scar containing debris that has been pulverized into a fine powder, and part of the fragment descends to the molten core of Jupiter whereupon it will be liquefied by simultaneous heat and pressure. The powder of the impact that remains in the cloud tops gradually breaks down into it's component elements and gases. Eventually the cloud layers of Jupiter reform, with some new particles in them.

Changing an estimate based on only looking at Jupiter occasionally is a bit odd. It is like saying that there are only a certain number of speeders on a certain highway based on the number of tickets issued.

[Larry-Starr]

If Jupiter is a gas giant then what did the comet smash into on the surface to make a visible explosion? Shouldn't a solid surface make an explosion like that, but the planet is said to be gas with a non-solid surface? I'm confused.

[pitchforksarecoming]

Without Jupiter there would be no life on earth and maybe even no earth.
