Recently a backyard astronomer in Australia spotted what appears to be an impact scar on Jupiter. So, I decided to see if we could see it here too in Mount Isa. I went out with the Mount Isa Astronomy Group to our local observatory and took my little telescope and camera to have a look. The result; we saw it!
The impact scar is the dark spot top dead centre of the disc. The two moons are Europa and Io, left to right.
