Right? Besides that, considering Shoemaker-Levy was a 6 million megaton impact (according do wikipedia), saying this was "similar" is just very wrong. Still interesting and pretty cool to have been caught on camera though.
- simonh 5y agoThe 'Similar' is in relation to how Shoemaker-Levy was broken up by Jupiter's gravity, and that this object comes from a similar process.
- lgl 5y agoAh, you're right, i interpreted that comparison wrongly. In that sense then it's most probably right. Still, we don't have any evidence that this impact was from a comet, it was most likely just an asteroid plunging into it.
