I remember vividly being at the Nordic Optical Telescope on the night of the first impact. There was a French group there with a thermal IR camera attached to the 2.5m telescope. We were wondering if anything could be seen since the impact was just behind the "horizon" of Jupiter. You can imagine how our jaws dropped when that insanely bright spot emerged at the limb of Jupiter. One of my top moments in astronomy!
I've always presumed experiences like this are the same feeling religious people get when they claim they've experienced the holy spirit. There really isn't a greater feeling than that, considering it's rooted in reality and directly connects you with a major even outside of the earth's influence. I'm a little jealous 😂
No you don't
@@KavdaenMain ok Joshua
I am Hulk levels of green with envy for you. I'm just a pleb so I was stuck with witnessing it through the news.
That is wildly cool.
Some of you (rightfully) pointed out in the comments of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai video that that explosion was not in fact the biggest explosion caught on camera, so here is the true winner of that title, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashing into Jupiter, captured by Galileo and Hubble.
We must have some supernova pictures on camera if you are looking for explosions caught on camera? lol
@@cmdrcrimbo Was thinking the same. But, at the end, "on a planet" qualifier is added. :)
How big the impact would have been if Shoemaker-Levy 9 hadn't split
@@cmdrcrimbo Have we though? We have certainly imaged the aftermath of a supernova, perhaps even within days or hours from the moment of ignition, but do we actually have video of a supernova's moment of explosion?

So… we can safely say there are no more dinosaurs on Jupiter
😂
They are now starting to turn into chickens
That's what they want you to think. They actually survived and are trying to evolve into birds.
My father had a massive telescope when I was a child, and I saw this as a little girl in July 1994 on our cul-de-sac. Needless to say, it fundamentally changed me, and put so much of our being here into perspective, even when I was (and probably still am) too young to understand. I still remember with great detail all of the black spots; they were everywhere. The whole neighborhood came out and we watched through the telescope together, taking turns. It was absolutely incredible. Thank you for posting this video; it’s taken me back.
IF THAT ONE THAT HIT AND LEFT A CRATOR AS BIG AS EARTH , IF IT HAD HIT EARTH WE WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE 29 YEARS AGO , OBLITERATED .NOTHING LEFT.YET IF A SINGLE CELL WAS TO LAND ON A PLANET WITH A SUITABLE ATMOSPHERE EVEN WITH SOME MUTATIONS , LIFE WOULD BEGIN SOMEWHERE OUT THERE ...
..U.S.MARINE...
Very cool😊
I think the part I like about this most is the combination of probes used together which never had any intention of doing so when launched. To me, this fact really juxtaposes how much better things turn out when we work together.
Yes having assets like those just might save us from a like incident some day money well spent , I hope the lesson was learned by those that are responsible for tracking NEO ' s
It's a lot easier when the owners of the collaborated equipment also have a very vested interest in recording the event, it's not like anybody had to beg or bribe to get this done
Thank you Jupiter. Your service to humanity is not overlooked. 🙏
I remember watching the news cover this story on a small tv when I was 11 years old. That was the first time I realized the unbelievable energy, force, and violence involved with these events, and my own insignificant helplessness against the universe.
Same
damn. sane here
wow you are so profound
The timing of the position of Galileo, Ulysses, and Voyager 2 was just mind-blowing!
I gotta say, I think Carl Sagan would be so proud of the work you're doing for bringing wonder to new generations!
True that!
Much deserved, extremely high praise. I concur wholeheartedly.
I consider this to be the best use of the internet
I remember this being big news, and honestly felt like it was a let down because i didnt understand the weight of it as a kid/teen.
But THIS... THIS brought it to life for me. Exceptional, incredible, and truly, fervently appreciated.
Sagan was a glorified TV host
I would love to see a model of the full impact, not just what happened on the visible “surface” but the effects of the impact below the clouds!
Is there a below the clouds? Always thought it was all gas. Weird hard gas. But gas. I'm prolly wrong. Learn me up! Gnight.
@@jamrep9633 Well, theres at least one comets worth of solids somewhere in there... :D Seriously though, as far as I'm aware no one really knows yet.
@@jamrep9633 it eventually becomes a solid due to the immense gravity and pressure Jupiter exerts. That said, that’s thousands of miles down. The comets as they do in some instances with even earth become an air burst bomb of sorts. Still devastating but in jupiters case, not all that bad.
What if we witnessed the extinction of life on Jupiter, but didn't notice because of the thick cloud cover?
Nah
The idea that Jupiter might be inadvertently protecting Earth is all the more reason why my instinctual decision as a child to make Jupiter my favourite planet was a good one.
I’m loving this channel so much, I was never that into science but did find myself being fairly good at it and I really liked learning about space and it’s all so interesting, thanks for making these videos, both the king and short ones are really fun to listen to and learn from!
And having both longer and shorter ones works really well to cater to what kind of mood or availability people have at any time. I’m sure a lot of people like to have the opportunity to learn new things but don’t have time, so shorter videos with fun facts and stuff are awesome!
Then when they do have the time they can have a look at the longer videos to scratch the itch for wanting more than a short video.
It won't be once one hits earth and it's right around the corner
WHAAATTTT ?
Jupiter can be a double edged sword it does protect us yes but it also can send comets in our direction as well.
Oohhh jumping on the Jupiter bandwagon huh? Neptune for llllliiiifffe sucka fool!
Jupiter is one of the coolest planets, easily top 3. My favourite one was always Neptune, well after earth that is.
You didn't need a large telescope to see the impact sites. I saw them clearly, the very next day, with my 8" reflector. It was awe-inspiring.
Watching your videos feels like traveling in spacecraft and listening to a tour guide about planets and cosmic events. Your videos are truly incredible.
That's beautifully written.
Same here! Highly researched and collected informations presented in a professional way. Love this channel
This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites on UA-cam. You caught my attention with your video series on black holes. Your approach to teaching these subjects make it exciting to learn about and digestible to those (me) who do not have a background in science. Please keep uploading great content like this!!
@TheBunnyMenace - Just wanted to point out that the "Thanks for watching my UA-cam videos" reply in this thread looks like it's coming from an account other than the content creator of this video. The same reply is posted throughout the comments of this video, and is likely a scam/phishing attempt. Good reminder to be cautious on platforms like this

@@88fosterg thanks for the heads up! The world needs more kind and thoughtful people like you.
@@88fostergThanks for the heads-up. I've noticed that kind of impersonation a lot lately. Usually on the very popular platforms with a substantial number of viewers. It probably is a scam of some sort, because nobody puts in that much effort unless they want something in return.
Still remember seeing that go by back in the 90's.
Jupiter is Earths guardian.
Long live Jupiter 🎉
110%.
Also, why did this make me cry.
Jupiter, being the best big bro to Earth for the last 4 billion years. :D
Jupiter flings stuff into the inner solar system, though.
Not the perfect bro, but the best bro :)
Yes! Thanks, Jupiter! ❤
The Chicxulub Astroid is said to have originated from the Astroid Belt and Jupiter with massive gravitational influence may have perturbed its orbit, setting it on a collision course with Earth 66 Million Years ago.
You are easily in my Top 5 favorite UA-camr channels. Every single time your production value, educational expertise, and music is masterful. Thank you
I received my new 8in f4.5 Dobsonian telescope just three weeks before this impact happened... With my 6MM eyepiece I was able to easily see these black impact areas from Mount Laguna 60 miles East of San Diego... just awesome to see it in person, not just on TV.
That’s amazing
In July 2020, I saw some kind of plume eruption in the SEB.
The big guy taking yet another one for the team. Here on Earth, we thank ye, king planet of the solar system.
great comment 👍
It's amazing to see that unrelated probes can temporarily be diverted from their missions to assist in collecting data from this impact.
I remember this like it was yesterday, I was 3 years out of high school and had been into astronomy since I was a young boy..I couldn't wait to get home and watch The Weather Channel because at the time they were the best source of coverage at a time without internet or 300 TV channels :)
Quit a sight wasn't it. I was fortunate enough that I was with a friend who had a decent telescope and I got to see the impact black marks. Did you get to see Hale Bopp? It was in the night sky for over a year. I'm sure I didn't get to see it that long from my position but it was nice to see in the night sky coming home from work. Peace out.
@@evoeightyci oh yes! Hale Bopp was an awesome sight! I remember I heavily involved in fishing bass tournaments back then and we would watch it driving to the lakes...
@@bassangler73 it’s pretty crazy something like this happened to earth only 13000 years ago
I remember this vividly as a teenager and being amazed by the massive scars on Jupiter that emerged from the aftermath. Having been underwhelmed by Halley’s Comet ten years prior, we were then treated to the incredible Hale-Bopp comet only a few years later, which was a truly magical experience and sight in the sky for weeks.
I remember Bopp vividly. I laid on a sun lounger with my girlfriend every night watching this in Surrey just outside of London in the UK. It was truly a magnificent site to behold
@@TheLondonForever00Hale-Bopp was quite a treat, I recall it could be seen even in daylight.
@@jimbotron70 Loved seeing it too, I know I was lucky as hell to have seen it. Only wish I was a bit older, so I could remember it more clearly. Then many years later, one of the few college courses I ever took ended up being an intro to astronomy course taught by a Dr. Alen hale.
That explosion was huge!
Amazing pictures. I was a student back then and remembered these events. Thank you for this wrap up.
Jupiter's gravity can also swing asteroids towards Earth that would not have been on collision course otherwise, so it's a double edged sword.
"Right back at ya"
-Obese planet full of gas
That is true but that would require a key hole orbit any asteroid that could theoretically be redirected by Jupiter would have to pass at a specific distance at a specific time and the odds are very very low as the most common users of a key hole orbit are man made, we alter the trajectory of our space craft to get to places like Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, Cassini, Galileo, Messenger and Bepi Columbo have all used keyhole orbits in gravity assists to reach Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn by passing by Venus and Earth to achieve the orbital velocities required to get to the destination at a chosen time meaning the points at which the gravity assist must happen is also very specific.
Using KSP with Principia mod, I can tell you getting these orbital paths is tricky as hell and nigh impossible for me, but Nasa has the resources to do it. The chances are slim but your very correct, the possibility exists.
I viewed the fresh scars in Jupiter's atmosphere with my backyard telescope. It was amazing!
I would like to thank the camera man for capturing all this amazing footage. Without him we would never know how the universe looks like!!!!
It's not footage, it's just still photos. Though technically video is just a series of still photos. Your life is a lie.
Please stop reading comments then posting them as your own. Youre better than that.
Uh-oh... another upload from Astrum, time to drop everything and dive in. 😉
Quite the fireworks show to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Apollo 11. And I was born just a couple weeks later! I’ve always loved that coincidence.
@Astrum
Mr. McColgon, Thank you for your reporting. And also for your quick response to your corrections on your reporting. Not many would be as quick to admit and repair one's postings.
Superb reporting!
I remember that absolutely awesome week!!. Then a few years later we had two historic comets. Still gives me the warm fuzzies.
NON-AVIAN dinosaurs-well done; I wish more people would appreciate that.
But they weren't birds; birds are their distant descendants.
Another great video. The Enthusiasm in your voice, you clearly enjoy making these I enjoy watching them. Thank you Astrum
I remember this because at the time there was an Italian woman who fancied herself as a seer who made a prophecy that the comet was going to miss Jupiter and hit earth. She put out flyers and tried to get people to join her in her belief. Suffice to say, she clearly knew little about cosmology or, well, real stuff in general.
I set up my Celestron C8 telescope every night that week. Curious neighbors from around our backyard 5 acre mudhole drainage pond came over to watch the scars rotate into view. Seeing was very good, even in light-polluted South Florida. It was amazing to us that such visible features were created as predicted.
Thank you Alex; one of your best, most interesting and informative videos.
Thank you so much for making this video, I relived those moments again., in 1994 I found this news by newspaper, when I was Just 12, and became a space enthusiast for my lifetime...
Once again thank you so much....
I loved the comment from Sir Patrick Moore when asked about this impact at the time. He said it would be like throwing a baked bean at a rhinoceros 🤣
This was extremely interesting. I only got to see the impacts on TV, but even on the small screen they were incredible.
Hey Astrum I really appreciate these videos. I was wondering if you could include some sources in your description for those of us who'd enjoy doing some further reading.
This was important, as it woke us from our dream of being safe from cosmic bombardment. It got the ball rolling on detecting and maybe trying to divert incoming space murder.
If I remember, the Three Tenors concert took place at around the same time at the Hollywood Bowl. That, too, was an *amazing* event.
simply and clearly explained, thank you.
As always Alex, your vids are perfect. I remember this in the news. I was 13 at the time and watched the news on Discovery channel.... you know before it was all about Alaskan gold mining and mountain peeps. Ah yes... before the Bell acquisition.... it was a good time... a better time.
I remember marveling at the reports of this event. It is great to see this update after all the years of analysis. Well done. I've subscribed.
its pretty crazy something similar to this happened only 13000 years ago
Thank you for being one of the few youtube channels pushing actual science and real data... I keep flagging garbage click bait science sites that lie... it's nice to see a good, clean, honest, channel.
I was 4 years old when this was all over the news and even back then I was a huge astronomy nerd, so I spent the next several months talking about it to my parents and kindergarten classmates.
its pretty crazy something similar to this happened to earth only 13000 years ago
@@21LAZgoo While there is mounting evident that a major asteroid impact DID happen 13000 years ago, it hasn't been totally confirmed yet (though I'm of the opinion it very likely did.) However, it almost certainly was NOT as large as Shoemaker Levy 9, otherwise it would have barely left any life on the surface what-so-ever. To my knowledge even the Chicxulub asteroid that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs 66 million years ago was a fraction the size and carried a fraction the energy of Shoemaker Levy 9.
In fairness Jupiter's gravity is a lot stronger than Earth's and thus accelerated the comet fragments to speeds higher than anything that might threaten Earth in the foreseeable future would have, but still.
Lol
Jesus Alex that was incredible! Seriously some spectacular content and I love the compositions you put together. I cant wait to see the next creation you make, hopefully a lonnng one! Big fan keep it up!!!
bro is on a first name basis lol
@@ksadjdadjaifen✝️
Had the good fortune to watch this impact on my father's Telescope. Lovely memory.
I saw the coverage of this event when I was a kid....my mind was blown away by what we saw/learned from it!
Lovely Jupiter,the solar systems hoover,no bag needed lol
This is fascinating,and scary at the same time. I can't even imagine the devastation just one of those things can cause here on earth.
Things like Shoemaker-9 are just salty because they couldn't become Planets.
I remember being 2 days old when I was there in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter that night with my father as we were watching Earthlings through our subspace remote viewing device.
It was truly incredible to watch the explosion just a few thousand kilometers away occur. I spent the next third of a galactic rotation in a locally accelerated fold of spacetime talking about the event with my fellow incorporeal classmates.
This channel is fascinating. There is something lucid and unpretentious about its content, uncomplicated for dummies like me, and still informative for the better educated; all in all it brings surprising scientific information in a way no channel on UA-cam does, and the narration is also excellent, with beautiful syntax and diction, riveting us to its great content. Of course, the images are amazing as well. Thank you so much for posting all this magnificent content so beautifully.
Funny that you mention 'unpretentious' while leaving a pretentious comment.
Thx for this awesome channel! 🙏
I think the most amazing part of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 story is that one of its discoverer, Eugene Shoemaker, was pretty much _the_ pioneer in this field. While ideas regarding large meteor impacts existed before him, he was the reajlly the one to bring it from the fringes to the mainstream, advancing he idea that metor strikes are common in the solar system, and most craters are impact in origin, rather than volcanic.
And at the end of his illustrious career, he was able to discover -- and witness -- the one event that would prove his idea in the most spectacular way possible. That really is an achievement not a lot of scientists can claim.
first channel on the web where I don"t mind advertisements. So much value in those videos...
I looked at the black spots created by the fragments with a 280mm (11-inch) telescope. You could easily see them even with a relatively small telescope.
Considering the fact I saw this in my lifetime, and that the means of viewing and photographing such an event has only really been possible in the last several decades, then it really isn't all that uncommon when you think about it. Makes you wonder when the next big one to hit earth will come along.
Either that, or we’re living in one hell of time
Thankfully Jupiter is so massive that it just takes many asteroids away from being a threat to Earth.
Thanks for tackling this topic, I don't have much details and information about this comet that shots Jupiter. This has been the easiest way to understand what happen that day. I'll keep it in my head forever. 😁 Thank you!
This was a huge event at the time!
The internet wasn’t what it is now- most info regarding it was coming from TV and newspapers but much of the world was following this in awe
Another point there is that Earth is a much smaller target than Jupiter so the odds of such an impact occurring are far smaller. However, one thing that Shoemaker pointed out to us through his work (I remember a video produced shortly thereafter documenting some of it with Carolyn contributing her memories and experiences) is that, if you know what signs to look for, there are impact craters *all over* the earth, some of them quite large but also quite old. That was something I found equally as fascinating as the impacts on Jupiter.
true, however devastating impacts occur far more often than we think. we had something similar to what happened to jupiter only 13000 years ago
@@21LAZgooGreenland?
love you and your content alex! great video as always.
I was 7 when SN9 hit Jupiter. Thank you for this video, I didn't know about that collision
I remember seeing this event on tv I was 19 then 49 now I've always been drawn to looking up at the stars & all it's wonders, thanks for showing this brings back alot of memory's 🕊️🙏
I was in charge of a school observatory with a 14" Celestron. With about 12 people queuing up for a look, I decided to start with everyone in
line being allowed just 5 seconds for their first look. That way, everyone got a quick look as quickly as possible. But this was July, and a
dozen people produced over 1kW of heat into the observatory. The seeing became really bad and I had to ask most of them to leave, and go outside to use one of the many other telescopes out in the open, without the contained thermals issues. Real unique event - July, early evening, lots of people in the dome - heating it up. Great event to be a part of.
14”? You mean 1.16 feet???
@@noneofyourbusiness4133 Yes, or 355mm.
I've always hated the implications that a huge asteroid or comet I'd likely to crash into earth. I don't think it will happen in my lifetime, but for some reason it really seems to be something that news outlets stick to when talking about our solar system.
it depends on what you mean by big. if you mean by huge impacts like that tiny meteor that exploded 5 miles over earth in a remote siberian forest in 1908, which flattened 810 square miles of trees and exploded with the force of a 15 megaton hydrogen bomb, which is equivalent to the largest bomb in the US arsenal, then id have to disagree with you as meteors like those we see every 100-300 years. if you mean by huge impacts like the ones we had 12800 years ago that caused the largest mass extinction event in 5 million years, then yes I would agree that it wouldn't happen in our lifetime as something as severe as what happened 12800 years ago, wont happen for a couple million years because of how bad it was
Astrum: Consistently brilliant, enjoyable and informing space content!
the fact that we hace develpoed the technology to document this mind boggling. Space tech and medicine have been the era defining developments
Thank you Jupiter, for saving us
Awesome channel as always say🌍💯
In the 5th grade, my school decided it was a great idea to teach us about asteroids and the potential they possessed to destroy life on Earth. I explicitly remember how the documentaries we watched repeatedly stated that "It's not IF. It's WHEN." an impact will occur on Earth. Needless to say, my 5th grade mind was not capable of assessing this risk as miniscule, so I would freak out at any rumbling sound that I heard - thinking that it was an extinction level asteroid striking the Earth.
He even laced the ad into the ending. When ads are preceded by such great content, I'm not even mad.
Excellent content as always
Something like that can happen to earth with little to no warning, the fact that we expentt billions on the petty wars of coward tyrants instead of investing on the space programs who can give us a chance to survive is one of humanity greatest crimes.
absolutely spectacular!
Thank you for your videos!
"Jupiter - god of war"
Astrum: "...cosmic vacuum cleaner"
Space Balls: "Mega Maid"
I've always found it interesting that this can be referred to as a "collision," given that Jupiter lacks a defined surface.
Thanks, Jupiter, for taking hits for us here at Earth.
We appreciate you bro.
Thanks for being a comet sponge, Jupie, keep it up!
This is easily the best space channel on UA-cam.
I vividly don’t recall this! This was very educational. Thanks.
Actual science is so freaking cool.
From what I've seen, Jupiter is just as likely to attract foreign objects into fatal paths from outer space, as it is to "vacuum clean" anything.
It can even make otherwise harmless celestial bodies plummet directly towards Earth at exceptional speeds.
My mom and I were both using my small telescope to watch Jupiter during that night when it first occurred. We both saw the impacts, switching between the two of us viewing through my single telescope, seeing flashes as several of them hit.
Well done. I had clouds!
Jupiter is the gentle giant that everyone wishes they have as their friend
Great video. I had a blast watching it. Thank you
I've loved astronomy since I have memory and that day I was 8 y.o I remember seeing all this in the news and it was so very exciting, I can imagine how great this was for professional and amateur astronomers
I remember I was a young kid when the Shoemaker-Levy 9 was everywhere in the news. Now I understand better why.
I remember this, it was all over the infant internet. It was pretty cool. The first news thingy I was interested in that I got to keep a tab on while it was ongoing due to it being online. Reading about it on my "computer". Intel Pentium 166 MHz CPU, 8 MB of RAM, 1.5 GB hard drive, 56K dial up modem.
I remember those days! I went to the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles to see the impact. The World Cup Finals were going on at the same time in nearby Pasadena. The observatory had a telescope pointed at Jupiter and a video monitor showing the status. I remember seeing the dark spots show up on the monitor and everyone got so excited when they appeared.
it was really amazing in the 90's to see this and Hale-Bopp
I remember this event. The images were awesome.
I remember learning in school in the early 2000s the Jupiter had a very small rocky core and it was pretty much all gas. Crazy how in such little time things change, if the impact cloud was seen above the clouds on Jupiter, that would have to mean the surface of Jupiter is rather close, esp with the gravitational strength.
i feel lucky now that i was alive to have witnessed the comotion when this event took place, i was 10 years old in summer of 94, but i do remember the hype surrounding this event, i remember reading about it in a kids magazine.
Fun Fact, Shoemaker published the first scientific article proving that meteor crater in Arizona, is in fact, a meteor crater. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.
I remember this, it was fascinating. Its like jupiter is a giant gravity magnet.
I forget where I was but I watched it happen on tv either that day the the day after and it’s one of the reasons why I became so interested in physics and space basically. Truly an incredible time the ‘90’s were.
its pretty crazy something like this happened to earth only 13000 years ago
Between this and Hale-Bopp, the 90s were amazing. I remember this in the papers.
