Amazing news. By Jove! It's true. Last Sunday an amateur astronomer in Australia noticed a new "scar" on Jupiter and alerted the world. Evidently a comet hit Jupiter. This scar is the size of the Pacific Ocean.
Geez, and I thought the planets just rotated around the Sun and all the exciting events were millions of years in the past or millions of years in the future. Watching huge objects smash into each other right now in front of our eyes make learning fun.
Your vocabulary flash cards for today: Comet, Asteroid and Meteor. What's the difference? Look it up.
