What impact? An asteroid hit Jupiter’s atmosphere, not the surface of the planet.

Is the frame rate sped up?

Does the quickness of the flash correspond to a huge event, such as an asteroid smashing into Jupiter?

How should one interpret that flash?

For what it is worth, I had predicted from AGW: “A). … 1). This is the regular qualitative predictions for catastrophic, violent ecosystems (~quakes to ~CMEs) … from … same global warming. Take your AGW pick – Red Spot and/or band appears on Jupiter, killer quaking between the Gulf of Aden and Guangxi, or a monster amplitude increase in last week’s “North America trying to bounce off Asia and Europe and the Yemen Model”. … This is the 74th JCS-MADDD Model (8/15 – 21/10) with many watery nightmares unleashed all across Allah’s good Earth that includes an increase risk for Valero’s employees and equipment but will not impede their free pollution exports to help generate more catastrophic flooding in Pakistan and beyond” (GBRWE 8/15 – 21/10′s Extreme Planetary Warnings for Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Solar/Terrestrial Flares from Human Activities; Robert Rhodes, Supplemental; GBRWE 8/15 – 21/10, 8/14/10).

Marvin the Martian was displeased that Jupiter was blocking his view, so of course he started to bombard the planet!

…which immediately moved out of his viewfinder due to normal orbital motion.

@ MaDeR:

In fact, your “hydrocarbon farmer” would be perfectly safe. Even fairly sized chunks thrown on Jupiter will go kaboom in upper atmosphere. Piercing deeper is HARD. Shoemaker-Levy was issuficient to do so.

Ha! That’s what you think. The new Martian mark v cylinders will pierce your atmosphere deep and hard, repeatedly, with ever more forceful thrusts, pounding and pounding and…uh…oops. Wrong forum.

@ Persnicketydietz:

Hi Phil, I’ll never forget trying to catch a glimpse of the Shoemaker-Levy impact at McCormick Observatory back in the summer of 1994! That was super cool. Happy times!

Oh dear! I hope the observatory survived the impact!
