An astronomer published scenes documenting the moment a meteorite collided with the surface of Jupiter, which some astronomers call the “vacuum cleaner of the universe,” because of its ability to attract objects to its orbit, and then throw them to great distances that may reach the Earth. The astronomer, Heidi Hamel, wrote on her website “X”: “There was another impact on Jupiter. The bright flash is an exploding meteorite.” Al-Alamia continued, explaining, “It is a very small meteor in Jupiter’s atmosphere, so that it cannot leave an impact, like the one we saw in 1994 and 2009.” Astronomers have discovered the way in which Jupiter affects objects: it is able to attract small objects as well, including objects with an area of ​​​​only 10 meters, such as the one that exploded in Jupiter’s gaseous atmosphere in August. In addition, on November 15, a fragment collided with From a comet or perhaps an asteroid, particles in Jupiter’s atmosphere caused the asteroid to explode due to the speed of friction and high temperature.
