a question about fireball impact on jupiter?
when they say the fireball "slammed" into jupiter, is there really anything in that bigass sphere to slam into? do we know what's inside jupiter? is there really any solid surface anywhere in it at all? what's a more likely scenario for what happened to the fireball when it entered jupiter's atmosphere? just curious. thanks

one thing no one has mentioned, but when your traveling at a velocity of 1000's of meter per second, hitting an atmosphere is akin to hitting a brick wall. It is much the same as doing a "belly buster" into a swimming pool, or jumping off a bridge into water will still kill you, from a great enough height.

It slammed into Jupiter's atmoshere and burned up due to friction. You know, like meteors do here on Earth.

The meteor "doesn't seem to have left any mark, so it probably burned up in the upper atmosphere before it reached the cloud deck," suggests Wesley.
