The weather has not been playing ball recently in south east England, but elsewhere in the world the skies have been clear and an amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley was lucky enough to catch the mark left from a major impact on Jupiter. Thats a pretty significant hit from something, be it asteroid or comet, and it’s always great to see an amateur astronomer get there first.
In other awesome astronomy news the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter returned it’s first pictures of the Apollo landing sites. We can expect higher resolution images in the months to come, but for now just being able to see the landers and the clear trail left by an astronaut is fantastic.
