Drops Of Jupiter




An amateur astronomer out of Dallas grabbed video of something smashing into Jupiter on Monday morning. I didn't bring my slide rule with me, but that was big.

I have 12" but seldom use it as a rule.

I bet it was the terrorists crashing into the Jupiter trade center.

Looks to me more like an atmospheric storm or static disharge resulting from some sort of disturbance in it's magnetosphere.

Flashbulbs from a Jupiter celebrity sighting?

Just ballparking...but that looked to be about the size of our moon in comparison to Jupiter.

The speed of the flash would seem to indicate that whatever it was burned up in the atmosphere while descending.

The force of gravity on Jupiter is about 2.5 times that of Earth.

No, I'm not an astrophysicist, but I saved money with a coupon at dinner last night at Johnny Carino's.

I'm somewhat of an asstromeater and that looks like Klingons circling Uranus.
