I've seen bigger. Lol joke....................

Seriously though, that is one hell of a dent. Something the size of earth? Scary, really, when you think about it.

Thats Jupiters job afterall, to pull in dangerous objects away from the other planets due to its immense gravitational pull.

I can't imagine it was very large if something hit Jupiter, I would assume astrologists would of seen a comet/asteroid coming years before, maybe something small and unnoticeable or just something weird on the planet happened, who knows.

lol a baseball could do huge damage if it came from space

[Accipiter]

i would guess it to be that large because what ever hit it / happened has egnited the atmosphere their for making a huge flame, or their has been some wierd atmosphere activity like lightning which has egnited it. seeing as jupiter is a ball of gas.

Weird. That could be anything...

Ah, is that why it went dark and the ground shook a few hours ago?
