In astrophysics there’s a similar concept called gravity displayed recently when something pretty sizable crashed into Jupiter, creating a flash that was seen by telescopes on Earth.called the Organized Autotelescopes for Serendipitous Event Survey project and Planetary Observation Camera for Optical Transient Surveys .
After learning of the impact, an independent amateur astronomer in Japan later posted footage to Twitter / X of their own that was captured on a continuous recording of the surface of the gas giant planet,It will be difficult to ever now for sure what caused the explosive flash, but a large asteroid or a comet are likely culprits.
