Yeah, stood out as surprisingly small. Jupiter diameter is about 140,000 km so isn't that flash at hundreds of kilometers across? I got 21 pixels while the planet is 500 pixels so 21*14000/500 = 588 km . Blurring might expand it though so in reality could be smaller.
Tunguska was estimated 50-60 m diameter though I guess velocity could tend to be higher at Jupiter? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event
