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...

I wonder if the possibility of this being a very bright bolt of lightning has been looked at and rejected.
To the unititiated, it is not obvious that a bolt of lightning of this magnitude (ie optical energy) would be more unlikely than a fireball of the same energy. |
