Cosmic Crash

It looks like Jupiter may have gotten smacked by something. There is a large black spot that may have been caused by something falling into its gas cloud ala Shoemaker-Levy back in 1994. The cool part is that it is largely hobbyists that find these things as the big guns are all booked up looking at really tiny patches of sky, not staring at Jupiter waiting to see something interesting happen.
