Credit Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley with the discovery. He lives outside of Murrumbateman, New South Wales, about 23 miles north of Canberra. He was nearing the end of a long skywatching session Sunday when his telescope’s camera recorded what looked like a fresh dark collision scar on Jupiter’s cloud tops.
