possible impact on Jupiter - from Dan Petersen

At 11:35:30 UT this morning (September 10 UT) Dan Petersen saw a bright flash on Jupiter, lasting between 1 and 2 seconds, possibly very similar to the two fireballs that were recorded in 2010.

He records the location as (system1) 335 degrees longitude and latitude +12. This location will be visible to us tomorrow morning (Wednesday morning) so if you have a chance to take a look and record some images of Jupiter then please do.

Most likely this is another "transient" atmospheric fireball, but you never know if it might have reached the clouds and left a mark for us to see :-)

cheers, Bird
