Anthony Wesley in Australia says he saw another impact on Jupiter today- this time capturing the immediate flash on video. No obvious aftereffects, so far, but Europeans and Americans with telescopes might want to take a look tonight...

It's interesting to compare to the Galileo images of one of the SL9 impact flashes, which looked MUCH brighter. So we might not expect an impact scar from this one...

John True John, though wasn't Galileo's observations taken in IR wavelengths? Big difference compared to visual wavelengths. Correction: I see the Galileo observations were in Green light. My bad! |
