Amateur astronomer captures rare, bright fireball on Jupiter in stunning video

An amateur astronomer captured rare footage of a bright fireball on Jupiter, likely caused by an asteroid or comet colliding with the planet's surface. This is only the second time in a decade that such a significant impact has been recorded. Jupiter's powerful gravity makes it a magnet for comets and asteroids, potentially protecting Earth from similar catastrophic events. Scientists rely on hobby astronomers to report these impacts, as they occur more frequently than observed.
