Earlier this week, two amateur astronomers witnessed and captured video of what appeared to be a 100-mile-wide fireball in the atmosphere of Jupiter, a phenomenon they believe was likely the result of a major meteor or comet impact. What do you think?

  • “This just goes to show: If you stare at Jupiter long enough, something might happen.”

  • “Aw, other people saw that too? There goes my wish.”

  • “I’m sorry. I’m way too stressed to think about Jupiter today. That planet is huge.”
