Cool stuff! Jupiter's our big friendly neighborhood vacuum cleaner, and it looks like it took one for the team again yesterday.
There's an impact video, too! Check it out at: http://astro.christone.net/jupiter/jupiterimpact.wmv

We were lucky it took one for the team. If there is crap that large floating around and making visible impacts on Jupiter, we may not be as lucky at some point.

Interesting. I was in Melborne in 1994 helping NASA record the SL9 impact with Jupiter.

You have to have no life to watch hours and hours of boring video of nothing happening.
