Now this is way cool

I am now wondering what would happen to Jupiter if something 'earth sized' did hit it. It wouldn't be good I'll lay odds

Amateur astrologists give me a headache. Bring me proper scientists.

You are going to have to do better than that.

Seriously, you like this space, the universe and everything stuff don't you?

Wesley tipped off Nasa, and images taken by the US space agency's infrared telescope in Hawaii confirmed a scar in the atmosphere near the planet's south pole.

Hello, NASA, this is Wesley and you missed a rock that could wiped out life on Earth.

Shoemaker Levy 9 was a real crowd pleaser by contrast.

Are you serious? Do you know how easy it is to miss this stuff? It's just cool that it was not only spotted, but that the amateur had the good sense to notify a bigger agency.

Serious as the end of world. It's odd some private citizen sees something a big agency doesn't. One would think there's at least a single telescope trained on each of the planets in our solar system.

I'm confused. Is a Jupiter sized object about to smash into Earth?

Scientists announced today that they had discovered a cure for the H1N1 virus. Unfortunately it comes in the form of a Jupiter sized object that is about to obliterate the planet. Edited July 23, 2009 by Mr. Saigon
