Brand new impact on Jupiter. This makes the second impact in just under a year. SL-9 hit back in 1994.
That big ball of gas really does help to protect our insignificant little rock from getting blowed up, or rather protects our species from extinction.
3 impacts in 16 years, all of which would have ended us had they hit Earth.

The impact appears on the upper left of the image of Jupiter. In reality, the impact was lower right when viewing the planet in the correct north/south pole orientation.
