Jupiter Antarctic area was NEO impact scar (Figure).

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists at the U.S. Pacific time at 3:00 on the 20th to 9 am (U.S. Eastern time, 6 am to 12 noon), .use of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, NASA Infrared Telescope Peak collect relevant evidence to show that Jupiter indeed suffered shock. .</ P> <P> new infrared images taken indicated the possible impact site is located near the south pole of Jupiter. .Near-infrared wavelength detection found a clear black "scars" and the bright upper atmosphere upwelling particles. .Detection of infrared wavelengths found in the upper atmosphere are temperature, radiation may be caused by the additional ammonia. .</ P> <P> 格伦奥尔顿 Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist, said: "In a right time to the right of Jupiter on the surface were observed to show the impact event, we can say very good luck. Even .plan better, we can not get more ideal than this result. "</ P> <P> day morning, Alton and its team of astronomers began tracking on Jupiter. .Currently, they are downloading data, while continuing to use the telescope in Mauna Kea, and other telescopes to observe. .This article is based on 1.65 micron wavelength photo shoot, the wavelength of the upper atmosphere of Jupiter's reflected sunlight sensitive. .The two bright images are from the impact area, "scars" (bottom left) and its fragments in northwest (upper left). .</ P> <P> Alton said: "Jupiter collided with a comet may be, but we are not sure. This is one of the most exciting moment. 2009 is the 'Shoemaker - .Levy 9 'comet hit Jupiter, and' Apollo 'moon landing anniversary of the crash from happening again in the event this year was really too surprising. "</ P> <P> been observed in 1994 .before the collision with Jupiter, "Shoemaker - Levy 9" comet has split into many fragments. .Jet Propulsion Laboratory Boshihouli Alton Fletcher and co-conducted the observations. .He said: "These observations impact event to be a very very exciting work. In my 5 years of his career observing the outer planets, these observations make me the most exciting." </ P> <P> Jupiter be confirmed .observations makes it a hit may be largely due to the infrared telescope the tireless efforts of the staff, including William Gerry Staege telescopes, including the operator. .Jupiter on the left "scars" can be seen relatively short time, the wavelength of observation is not only involved in one, but by virtue of his proficiency, Alton, who hit a smooth Jupiter evidence. .By the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages on behalf of NASA. .</ P> </ p>.
