Jupiter hit again? Amateur astronomer finds evidence, scientists confirming
Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system, has been known to raise curiosity among all, not just for its massive size but for unique phenomenon like the Great Red Spot. However, this time the planet has caught the attention of astronomers over something impacting its upper atmosphere.
Amateur astronomer José Luis Pereira from Brazil got a glimpse of a rare event as he discovered an impact on the gas giant on September 13. He searched for more flashes on the planet with DeTeCt software, a tool used to check for planetary impact events. The programme beamed a high probability of a collision.
