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...

Funny you should say that. I almost started a new topic for this latest impact, then realized that it could quickly become ridiculous over the next few years. Suspect we're going to be seeing these pretty often from now on.
EDIT: Paul, I think it's highly probable that members of the ALPO Jupiter section (incl. of course international members) do in fact monitor the planet almost 24/7. If anything, I'd expect the level of monitoring to increase dramatically very soon. The work they can do nowadays compares very favorably with pros. Re nightside monitoring: Wonder if some innovative am might start watching favorably-placed moons for brief flashes... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
