A clear and brilliant flash of light, probably due to the impact of an asteroidal object on the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, was observed by two experienced amateurs, the Australian Anthony Wesley and Christopher Go Filipino Flash lasted a few moments but was particularly evident. It is not the first time that the gas giant is observed while he suffers the impact of small bodies in the Solar System. The most famous is the impact of 1994 between Jupiter and the fragments formed by the disintegration of the nucleus of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, while in July last year the consequences of another scontro con un oggetto probabilmente di natura asteroidale si resero evidenti sulla caratteristica atmosfera a bande del pianeta.
