Jupiter Got Bitch Slapped

NASA has taken the sharpest picture of a scar on Jupiter left over from a collision on July 19th with the Hubble Space Telescope. The object is hypothesized to be either an asteroid or comet that broke up in the atmosphere.

The diameter of the object is guessed to be "the size of several football fields" and the force of explosion was thousands of times the strength of the Tunguska River Valley explosion of 1908.

(For perspective, the Tuguska event is theorized to have been caused by a comet or asteroid that exploded several miles above the Earth causing a massive airburst. The explosion was guessed to be 1000x more powerful than the atom bomb on Hiroshima. Trees within 830 square miles were knocked completely down. )

Moral of the story: Something real mother truckin HUGE hit Jupiter. I think it was Pluto sending out a hit on all the planets. Look out Earth.
