Scientific paper

On 2009 July 19 a new impact site appeared on Jupiter, similar to one of the mid-sized impacts of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9), fifteen years earlier. It was a single, unpredicted event, which appeared as a very dark spot in the South Polar Region, and was bright in methane-band images. It retained a nearly black core for 12 days, then rapidly dispersed and fragmented, although dark streaks remained visible for more than 5 weeks after the impact.
