Jupiter was impacted by a comet that left scars for days, if not weeks about two decades ago. Here's a wiki about it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Shoemaker%E2%80%93Levy_9
Simce then, it's been impacted again; and again with a video of the impact. Of course, one can only see a bright flash of light!
Astronomers have thought for a long time that Jupiter could have acted as a comet protector. Taking hits for Earth and the other inner rocky planets to not take. I think we have proof!
