just catching up on this amazing news. Well done Anthony and Chris.

With the amount of time you put into this I think it is just rewards more than luck.

All hail the King

Excellent captures - however, a question:

How can we discount lightning as being the underlying phenomenon?
It appears a bit of a coincidence that the south equatorial belt disapears some three weeks ago and then we see a flash dead on a remaining narrow band of the SEB. We know that the atmosphere here is undergoing dramatic changes so why rule out lightning?

Am I missing something (and I really could be missing something)?

None the less - great captures by Anthony and Chris.

Will be following the thread with interest...

Mark

Impact plus Shockwave?

Hi, just watched the video, amazing! Just wondering whether it also shows the spread of an impact shockwave. After watching it a few times it looks as though a circular ripple spread out from the impact. Anyone else see that?

Well done, your a legend!

Hi Greg

Very unlikely. The "ripples" you're seeing are a result of the artifacts caused by the undulating seeing and by how telescopes and CCD's capture bright point sources.

Phil Plaitt has a good explanation on his followup blog on Bad Astronomy:
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/ba...color-picture/

Congrats once again to Anthony - incredibly discovery, AGAIN!

Luck no doubt plays some part in these things, but most people probably wouldn't have been paying attention or even noticed anything. It's your dedication and skill that noticed something unusual, saw it for what it was, and alerted the world right away.

It's great that Chris Go was able to confirm your discovery, otherwise I'm sure a few people might be a little skeptical... twice, within the space of a year?? Surely not

It couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Well done!

Super capture.
How often is Jupiter hit?
I know it gobbles up alot of strays (massive pull) but we have now seen a couple in a short time!

Congrats Anthony on another excellent piece of work.

IMO luck plays only a very small part.

What a lot of people don't realise is that you have probably had a telescope pointed at Jupiter for more hours in the past 12 months, than they will spend with a telescope pointed at Jupiter during their entire lifetime.

Great work to both you and Chris !!!

Cheers,
John B
