Otsikko: Our cosmic protector? Kirjoitti: sideman - 26.07.2009 12:01:00 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/26/weekinreview/26overbye.html Jupiter: Our Cosmic Protector? An object, probably a comet that nobody saw coming, plowed into the giant planet’s colorful cloud tops sometime Sunday, splashing up debris and leaving a black eye the size of the Pacific Ocean. This was the second time in 15 years that this had happened. The whole world was watching when Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 fell apart and its pieces crashed into Jupiter in 1994, leaving Earth-size marks that persisted up to a year. |
