2016 Jupiter impact event

An astronomical body collided with Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, on March 17, 2016.

A video was taken of Jupiter in Mödling on March 17 by an amateur astronomer, Gerrit Kernbauer, with a 20 centimeter telescope.

During his filming, a light appeared on the right side of Jupiter as viewed from his lens.
