A huge fireball has been spotted on Jupiter in yet another collision from space caught on camera and video by amateur astronomers.
The new Jupiter crash occurred on June 3 at 20:31 UT (4:31 p.m. Eastern Time) and was spotted by skywatcher Anthony Wesley in Australia and fellow amateur astronomer Christopher Go in the Philippines.
Wesley's photos show the Jupiter fireball blazing in the atmosphere of the gas giant planet. So far, no visible scar in the clouds has been reported from the event.

Gas giants hardest hit!
And it’s moons, Saturn and it’s moons, and Neptune, Uranus, and their moons also.
If they weren’t there Earth would probably have been destroyed eons ago.
I’ll drink to that!!
And being Saturday, I will.
The day he was sworn in, Obama proclaimed, "Let no asteroid ever hit the Earth." Therefore, the heavens will obey. He and he alone will keep us safe.
Ha, Ha. If nothing else he’s a real comedian. Or perhaps clown is a better description.
