QuotePASADENA, Calif. - Astronomers say Jupiter has apparently been struck by an object, possibly a comet.
Images taken early Monday by NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility, at the summit of the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii, show a dark scar in Jupiter's atmosphere near the south pole of the gas giant.
The images also show bright upwelling particles in the atmosphere, detected in near-infrared wavelengths, as well as a warming of the upper troposphere with possible extra emission from ammonia gas detected at mid-infrared wavelengths.
Well, Jupiter /is/ about the a tenth the size needed to kickstart nuclear fusion. That attracts a lot of attention from the surrounding neighbourhood.
The bigger they are, the harder they rock as interplanetary debris shields.
