I'm surprised that no one is really talking about the comet that hit Jupiter the other day. It's almost like the media doesn't even want to mention it. I went to http://space.com and it's not even listed in the top 10 stories. What the heck? They said the size of the impact crater was as big as Europe. I don't like the idea that Jupiter has now been hit twice in 15 years. Are aliens keeping us safe? I really am beginning to wonder if they stop things from hitting our little blue planet.

Here is the article:

By the way, there is a video about a scientist who believes an alien sacrificed him/her/it's self to blow up the comet in Tunguska in 1908.

I agree! on both statements!

I don't know about anyone else but I heard about it. And we don't know for sure if it was a comet. It's an assumption since comets pass by Jupiter more than asteroids. But based on the size of the "bruise" in the clouds, the object was reportedly the size of two football fields. And since Jupiter has no solid surface, there is no impact crater

Actually, I do like the idea that Jupiter has been hit twice now. Because that's two less objects that the Earth has to worry about. And you shouldn't be wondering if aliens are keeping our planet safe, because they're not. But you should be thankful Jupiter is!

With all due respect to this so-called scientist, no alien was required to blow up the Tunguska meteor (not a comet). It was simple physics, nothing more. What I find unbelievable is this so-called scientist talks about an object shooting up to intercept the meteor yet there were no witnesses to the event. He then produces a piece of something which he claims is from the alien spacecraft. Well, it looks like a piece of rock to me. Besides, over the past 100 years many have combed through this site and have never found any evidence such as this guy is talking about. Heck, they can barely find pieces of the meteor, never mind a non-existent alien space craft!

Amazing..... the things people say and do for a little publicity.

Correction, not one single piece of your tunguska "meteor" was ever found

99% of all celestial objects that enter our solar system are drawn to Jupiter, it is basically our life-support, and ET searchers looking for similar life forms across the universe also should look for a Mega Planet in other systems.
The Planet is only doing what is has always done, only now we can occasionally view it happening.

Shoemaker comet broke up and went into Jupiter. It was a close call for the earth. God Zapped the comet and saved the earth from a fire ball. Gods a Good God and Saves the earth and gets very little recognition on the earth or the media reporting. He did get the glory from Mr.Shoemaker and all who did believe.'' Do an internet search if you want ''

What comet? Shoemaker-levy-9 didn't come anywhere near Earth.

As the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter basically acts as a sort of gravitational sponge, sweeping up debris as it enters the solar system before it reaches the inner solar system and us.

Comet Hyakutake came so close to the earth that it became very bright in 1996. There were questions to the an increase in stratospheric haze on the planet due to dust from the comet growing, but the earth's magnetic field was not strong enough to pull it to the earth like Jupiter.

Jupiter has a much bigger gravitational circumference and is very near the asteroid belt
