SPIREX observed the fragment Q1 and Q2 impact sites appearing over the limb of Juptier. Conditions around the impact were not good, with clouds coming in and out. The Q2 impact was not easily seen, due to confusion with the older impact sites. Q1 was observed at 20:20 UT, and was bright, as expected.
We are hoping that the weather will clear for the rest of the four-peat "Bulls-eye" upcoming in the fragment Q2-Q1-R-S sequence.
These impacts unfortunately do not coincide well with our available satellite windows, so reports of the impacts will be out significantly later than the impacts. We expect to report around the following times:
