Video … A meteorite collides with the largest planet in our solar system
The meteorite struck Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, on August 7th.
A Texas astronomer filmed the event and posted it on Twitter showing a small flash in the southern half of Jupiter, according to the Express.
The astronomer commented: "I noticed the collision thanks to a wonderful program called" DeTeCt by Marc Delcroix "specially designed to detect such lightning".
Some experts believe that Jupiter protects the Earth from meteorite impacts.
Jupiter is not allowed to fly the asteroid belt or meteorites between Mars and Jupiter around the solar system because of its enormous gravitational force.
Jupiter is also believed to be attracting lunar asteroids, and NASA has announced that Lula's gravitational force, the massive planet (Jupiter), would continually strike meteorite planets.
"The presence of Jupiter already protects Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars from repeated collisions of the asteroid," NASA said in a statement.
This is not the first time that a meteorite has collided with Jupiter and this has already occurred on July 19, 2009.
