I saw this story on CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/spa...car/index.html

It says that an impact mark/hole in the atmosphere of Jupiter that is THE SIZE OF THE EARTH was discovered a day or 2 ago by an amateur astronomer.

That is major news and NASA didn't know anything about it (officially anyway). I wonder what caused that and managed to go unnoticed despite its huge size? Does anyone think that there were crop circles depicting this event?
