The title makes no sence

this is not a Live video

and if anything surly any recordings of spacial fanomanon were live at the time they happend and were recorded.

fanomanon - isn't that the bit the hairy beast-type muppet sings and the backup choir then goes "bap-beeee badeedee"?

Anyways, that impact lit up an area that was the size of the pacific ocean. (http://edwindwianto.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/planet-size-comparison-001.jpg for a comparison)

Space be scary sometimes.

All these worlds are yours, except Europa. Attempt no landing there. Use them together. Use them in peace.

Neat comparison Retro! I didn't realize Uranus was that much smaller than Jupiter.

URanus isn't THAT much smaller... *rimshot

Live refers to the fact that the video was recorded while the impact occurred, rather than being reconstructed from stills or severely time-shifted as many such astronomical events often are. It's a heck of an impact.

No i think that's what al pacino says in Devil's Advocate - I'M A FAN O' MAN!

Westy your comments really drag me down. This is such a vacuous point but overshadowed by your spelling - which would make david mitchell cry - i hope you don't suffer from some condition which causes it, i wouldn't want to be like that, but it looks like a lack of effort. Sometimes you make posts which i genuinely can't understand.

Anyway - in your eyes, NOTHING is live, because light will ALWAYS take time to reflect from something happening and reach your eyes, or the camera, or whatever else. Even if it's a billionth of a billionth of a second, that's still a delay. 8 microseconds, 8 minutes, is anything live? Even your senses aren't live, they take time to fire electrical impulses around your body.

This IS live. But before i got on my rant-horse, i was about to say i know 12 year old whizz kids who could manufacture a more realistic looking impact than this real impact

YOU make no sense. All "live" videos suffer from this effect, whether they be "live" or recorded. Even if you're watching it on TV, you experience the .001 (or however many) second delay and technically lose the "live" effect.

This video was recorded "live" and is a huge HUGE achievement among astronomers, both amateur and professional. We stare at the heavens for most of our lives and hope desperately for the chance to see something like this. Seeing it is like winning the lottery. It's amazing.

Chris Go was bound to get something like this as frequently as he records Jupiter.

Have you ever seen "live" concert footage? It's the same concept here, except with planets.
