Hi:

  Is this *old* news???

Asteroid impact on Jupiter

Aug 22, 2010 17:10 Moscow Time

An amateur astronomer in Japan has observed a cosmic impact of  
Jupiter. He successfully photographed a flash which lasted almost two  
seconds.

The National Observatory believes Mr Masayuki Tatikawa watched the  
crash of an asteroid or a comet about a kilometre across.
