Stumbling Across Things Disturbing


I find it slightly disturbing that this could have been a comet?

I added the image in case the link doesnt always work.

Photos From the Final Frontier

The recently refurbished Hubble Space Telescope is back and apparently better than ever. NASA scientists interrupted the final testing and adjustments of the telescope to release the first photos from Hubble since its upgrade in May. The photo shown here captures the mark on Jupiter thought to have been made recently by a comet or meteoroid. This photo, taken July 23, was snapped with the telescope's new camera, the Wide Field Camera 3.

disturbing because they don't know? what, we have comets zooming around we don't know about?

I think there's a lot of stuff in outer space they don't know about.

Also, they may not have been sure what kind of effect a comet would have on Jupiter's atmosphere.

Or maybe "they think it's a comet" is a euphemism for "we just saw an alien spaceship crash". :)
