Jupiter sports new 'bruise' from impact
"...Something has smashed into Jupiter, leaving behind a black spot in the planet's atmosphere, scientists confirmed on Monday....
The impact was discovered by amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley in Murrumbateman, Australia at about 1330 GMT on Sunday. "
"Without having seen it, scientists can't tell how large the object was. "But the impact scar we're seeing is about the same size as one of Jupiter's big storms, Oval BA,
Fletcher told New Scientist. "That, I believe, is about the size of the Earth."
