It's just a shame that they cant get the details right...

"An amateur Australian astronomer has set the space-watching world on fire after discovering that a rare comet or asteroid the size of Earth had crashed into Jupiter."

I think something the size of Earth would leave a much bigger hole, and we may have spotted it beforehand. We certainly would have not called it a comet or asteroid, planet is the term that comes to mind.

Cheers
