E Jyz to o a x a Karl ate Washington a explosive jolts from Comet fragments have left Jupiter pocked with Black scars one of which is now the most prominent visual feature on the planet. An even bigger trauma is coming three punches near the same location within a 20-hour period. Astronomers said tuesday that a dark Black Patch resembling a Black Eye left by the Impact of Comet fragment g has become the most easily seen Mark on Jupiter in the nearly 400-year history of observing the planet. Lucy Mcfadden a University of Maryland astronomer said the Impact Mark is so Large that amateurs using backyard telescopes under Clear skies should be Able to see it. A a that a something that has never happened before a agreed Nasa astronomer Steve Maran. Usually Only professionals or advanced amateurs can see the details on Jupiter a face. Jupiter is in the Southwest sky just after Sunset but moves out of sight after about three hours said Mcfadden. It is the fourth brightest heavenly object seen from Earth behind Only the Sun Moon and Venus. The Black Marks on the planet Are the gaseous Broth of chemicals and particles suspended in Jupiter supper atmosphere after fireballs caused by the High Speed collisions of the Comet pieces. Even though the visible sphere of Jupiter is ail Gas experts said the Impact scars May fast for months. Chemical composition of the Black Marks is still unknown but Mcfadden said scientists have been puzzled to find no chemical signature for water in images taken with special filters. She said Rock in the Comet fragments is loaded with oxygen and Jupiter itself is about 74 percent Hydrogen. Since the impacts mix the two elements that make up water scientists had expected to detect its presence. But so far the search has come up dry. A it May still be too hot at the Impact Sites for water to Settle out a said Mcfad Den. A it May rain eventually on Jupiter when it cools. Wed really like to see some regular h20.�?� Jupiter a sphere was first observed in the 17th Century in the Early Days of the Telescope. Famed astronomer Galileo discovered the Jovian Moons and later observers spotted the great red spot a permanent cyclonic feature of the planet. Later still astronomers observed the bands of swirling gases that make up the visible face of the giant planet. Since observing started said Maran the prominent features on Jupiter have remain relatively unchanged until Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 started its bombardment last saturday. Fragment g has been the most powerful hit so far but reports of the Impact Early tuesday of fragment k suggest it too was very Large. Maran said observers at the South pole where Jupiter is always visible this time of year said an erupting fireball after k collided was equal to the explosion on monday of g. Both fireballs observed with infrared instruments were nearly the size of Earth and the Mark left behind by g is even larger. A a in a sure we a have a Large spot from k also a said Maran. Images taken by telescopes in California Texas Hawaii and Chile show a stepping Stone Trail of Marks or hot spots caused by the nine Comet shards that hit by noon tuesday. Four impacts Are expected today including the Start of a triple whammy in which three fragments will hit Jupiter 10 hours apart in virtually the same spot. Since Jupiter rotates once every 10 hours this puts the three fragments hitting at the same Longitude. All 21 of the fragments in the Comet train Are smashing in at the same latitude or distance from the Equator. The Comet bombardment is expected to end Friday with the Impact of fragment w at about 4 . Edt. A workers reportedly tampered with Benefit claims Indianapolis apr employees in the department of veterans affairs altered or destroyed the Case files of veterans seeking benefits a newspaper said tuesday. Officials believe documents were removed from files to deny claims for compensation which would help reduce a backlog of cases the Indianapolis Star reported. Two Case reviewers on the Board of veterans appeals in Washington d c., Are believed to be responsible for the tampering. One employee was rejecting about 92 percent of her cases according to a june 29 memo written by Charles l. Cragin Board chairman. One of the employees has resigned and the other has been suspended without Gay since May the newspaper said. Neither employee has been identified. The . Attorney general a office said it is conducting a criminal investigation. A Secretary Jesse Brown called the reported tampering a a reprehensible and said the missing files were being located or reconstructed. Agency officials  say How Many cases were affected. The Federal Agency handles claims from veterans seeking housing benefits pensions and disability benefits related to military service. The Board of veterans appeals reviews cases rejected by the Agency a regional offices. The backlog of claims and appeals is estimated at 600,000. The backlog at the Board of appeals office is estimated at 41,000 cases
