> Based on the images and video provided observers, the object’s diameter is estimated at 20 meters (ft). Similar to what happened with [the 1994 impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9], this object is believed to be the remnant of a larger comet or asteroid that was captured by Jupiter’s gravity that broke up shortly before the impact took place.
I don't know what "20 meters (ft)" means. Probably a typo?
Right? Besides that, considering Shoemaker-Levy was a 6 million megaton impact (according do wikipedia), saying this was "similar" is just very wrong. Still interesting and pretty cool to have been caught on camera though.
Ah, you're right, i interpreted that comparison wrongly. In that sense then it's most probably right. Still, we don't have any evidence that this impact was from a comet, it was most likely just an asteroid plunging into it.
