http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/07/21/jupiter.nasa.meteor.scar/index.htmlIt's not clear what the object was that crashed into Jupiter's poisonous atmosphere.
Glenn Orton, a JPL scientist, told the magazine New Scientist that it could have been a block of ice from somewhere in Jupiter's neighborhood, or a wandering comet that was too faint for astronomers to have detected before impact.

with our solar system it could be any number of things. I guess we'll never really know though. I love hearing about stuff that happens in space it's interesting yet terrifying. It's like a natural thriller show!
