Due to the collision of a huge rock with Jupiter, it has a huge hole in the shape of the Pacific Ocean. Scientists say that it is about the size of Jupiter's small red spots.

This is the first time an asteroid has been seen colliding with it. It was previously understood that snow comets must have hit the planet after being pulled into the gravitational field.

Researchers say that the discovery is earlier and reminds us that the solar system is complex and intense. According to the newspaper 'Dailymail', on 19 July 2009, astronomer Anthony Wesley in New South Wales, Australia, first noticed this effect at his observatory.

At first, they thought it was a black spot, but looking at it from the right angle, they understood that it is absolutely black, that is, the effect of hitting someone. Wesley contacted NASA, the US space agency, who until now was in a dilemma as to how this spot on the planet's surface formed.

Researchers used three infrared cameras, a mixture of some gases and chemical conditions to investigate Jupiter's atmosphere. They came to the conclusion that at the time of the collision of the small star, TNT equal to five gigatons must have come out and its debris must have risen so high that the clouds must have settled.
