Someone needs to tell the Japanese that the letter they think is an O is a Q... Their P is OK but they should mind their Os and Qs.

hey! they are scientist! They will just make Sh*t up just to provide an answer. Nobody likes to hear and educated person say ‘I don’t know’. So just give an answer and call it a theory. It will be accepted as fact until it is disproved.

What's the world coming to? Even the Man on the Moon can't escape constant surveillance.

That's what science is mostly about. Observation. And lots of it. Btw, that how an Australian amateur astronomer using his backyard telescope discovered that a large comet or asteroid has crashed into Jupiter, creating a hole the size of the Earth in the planet's atmosphere. I understand he left the scope one night, went inside as he wanted to watch some golf game on TV. But he left his camera on and running which was mounted to the scope. He came back to the scope later only to find what the camera had captured.

I believe they saw the comet/asteroid BEFORE it hit Jupiter. It was named after them. And then EVERYONE got to watch it slam into Jupiter. (Well, all of the pieces of it).

Oh - found it. And it sounds like they were more than just casual observers - but not full-fledged “scientists” either.

“Shoemaker-Levy 9 was first spotted in March 1993 by three veteran comet discoverers: Eugene and Carolyn Shoemaker, and David Levy. The group had collaborated several times before and discovered several other comets before this one, which is why this comet was called Shoemaker-Levy 9.”

If that thing had hit us, well it would have been lights out permanently. Jupiter did it’s job and took one for the team.

No, that was a different event with Shoemaker Levy.

This an amateur Australian astronomer by the name of Anthony Wesley and he only saw it post impact.

Oh! Thanks. Cool stuff, coming from a guy that got a telescope at ten years old!

Anthony Wesley and his scope, not long after the discovery.

Thanks BenLurkin. Impacts of space debris on the Moon don't yield the result that is expected, hence the response s/b, further study to see why our expectations are wrong. :^)

I remember that one of the reasons why the Taurus-Littrow region was chosen as the landing site for the Apollo 17 mission was because flashes from there were seen by the Apollo 15 astronauts. However, I never heard if the cause of those flashes was discovered.

Thank you! I have captured it and squirreled it away in my PDF treasure trove.
