Hey, guess what? They've discovered transparent aluminum. Can warp travel be far behind?

Okay, some of you might not have heard that they woke up Hubble from test-sleep to get a good look at the spot here.
I'm with TMC in wanting to learn of such evidence, maccity.

Dear Maccity,

Proof?

Why get excited about some dark spot on Jupiter. The Universe is not much older than 1 million years and we will not be annihilated in some apocalyptic event. It is also very doubtful that there is life on other planets. Unfortunately science fiction fans are like fundamentalist, they think the end of time is imminent.

Dear Jimmy,
It doesn't matter whether the image is taken in the southern hemisphere or northern hemisphere. The image would look the same. The reason the image is upside down is because it was taken with a refracting telescope, which inverts the image.

Chicken,
Are you sure about the location of the impact site? It's near the south pole, but I assumed that this is the *upper* pole in the picture since the picture was taken in Australia, so the photographer would have had to turn the image upside down (for him) to get Jupiter's south pole at the bottom of the picture. Since the only dark mark is near the upper pole of the picture, and since the photographer was in the southern hemisphere of Earth, I assumed that the upper pole of the photo was the souther pole of Jupiter.
Oh well.
Also, *yes!* moonwalk anniversary! Just haven't been able to blog it with all else that's going on.

Why no mention of the 40th anniversary of the moon landing? A few of us were alive, back then, or have access to a time machine in our basements. I really feel sorry for the youth of today. For an instant, the entire world looked upwards at the sky, together, as one. It was the last time that selfishness ever vanished from the world.

Also, the impact event is in the Southern hemisphere. The black spot in the Norther hemisphere is a regular part of Jupiter. You cannot see the impact in the photograph, above.

According to the Irishastronomy site, JPL (the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, U. S. A.) has confirmed that this is an impact event. The Keck telescope (the largest in the world) has been turned towards it.

Yikes! The IRISH!!
The Irish have only given us two truly great things: 1) Whiskey to drink and 2) Waterford Crystal to drink your Whiskey from.
Ok. Three things... - 3) the ability to talk eloquently about The Faith.

Talk about drawing straight with crooked lines! The straightness of those bands are amazing.

"All these worlds are yours..."

And so it begins.
It wasn't an asteroid. It's a whole bunch of really black rectangular prisms, and they're doing something big. Get ready.
