More pictures have emerged of the collision that gave Jupiter a new scar earlier this month.

The new scar is believed to have resulted from a comet slamming into the planet. After being spotted by Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley (first picture) it was imaged by two telescopes on Mauna Kea in Hawaii (second pictures).

Now a third telescope on Mauna Kea and, most excitingly, the Hubble Space Telescope have focused in on the impact site. Here are the shots from them both (Gemini Observatory right, Hubble left):
