JUPITER IMPACT? On July 19th, a veteran observer of Jupiter 
in Australia photographed a fresh dark "scar" in Jupiter's 
cloudtops; the feature resembles the Shoemaker-Levy 9 
impacts of 1994.  It is possible that Jupiter has been 
struck anew by an asteroid or comet.  Astrophotographers 
around the world should train their optics on Jupiter to 
confirm the event and monitor its progress.
