JUPITER IMPACT? On July 19th, a veteran observer of Jupiter in Australia 
photographed a fresh dark "scar" in Jupiter's cloudtops; the feature 
resembles the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts of 1994.  It is possible that Jupiter 
has been struck anew by an asteroid or comet.  Astrophotographers around the 
world should train their optics on Jupiter to confirm the event and monitor 
its progress.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for photos and updates.
