Something Hit Jupiter And Made An Earth-Size Explosion

On August 7, Ethan Chappel unintentionally directed his telescope towards Jupiter, the largest planet in the galaxy. The interesting fact under his watch can astonish even the most expertise astronomer. Within a few seconds, a bright flash appeared on the planet’s surface and was captured immediately by his telescope.

According to Chappel's observation, there is an emergency and gradual disappearance of a white spot on the lower left side of Jupiter. Fortunately, he successfully recorded this phenomenon from his telescope. Let's take a look at the video in his post right there!

While scientists are researching the cause of the flash, many speculations have been made including the possibility of a massive asteroid. In fact, the colossal was caused by the collision of objects on the planet, resulting in a sizable explosion as the Earth. The image below will clearly illustrate what was next to Jupiter and the Earth.

Astronomer Dr. Heidi B. Hammel, who was a member of astronomers with similar recorded findings in 1994, claimed that the mentioned object was possibly a “bolide”. Simply understanding, it is a sort of meteor.

Previously, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (or SL9) came into forcible contact with the planet, causing dark debris on its surface. Meanwhile, this crash is supposed to not produce such an impact.
