This is of the side we see, how about the dark side ? Is it impacted as well ? Is that accounted for when crunching numbers ?
Great video! Has there been any estimates as to the size of the meteorite that struck Jupiter? I assume it was quite small if only regional damge is estimated for a similar sized object striking Earth.
Sorry I see now on the photo a few hundred metres, somewhat larger that Tunguska, so yes quite a bit of regional damage here on Eartth would defintely result.
