Events that leave the bubble of hot gas that comes from the Jupiter atmosphere.

The former is left is a large dark area in the planet's atmosphere to survive a few months after the events have passed. Fraction comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 strike Jupiter in position latitude 45 ° and 6.5 ° longitude position on the surface of the outer planet is a giant.
