On July 19, a big chunk of something smacked into Jupiter, causing a black mark on the gas giant’s surface and raising a lot of questions.

An amateur astronomer from Australia caught the first glimpse of the cosmic collision. Now Anthony Wesley is the newest space rock star.
i think jupiter was not hit by a comet because comets are to small to leave a crater and i think another planet bumped in to jupiter and left that dent.
