It could easily be a piece of dust or something on this "low resolution" image. Jupitor has giant storms that create spots. Also, it is a gaseous planet, how do you expect to see a crater? This is total BS. Plus why would the US risk launching a nuke out of orbit? What if there was a malfunction.


100% in agreement. I was about to post a comment when I saw yours. 

However gas planets do leave "craters" where the gas is disturbed, this "crater" usually disappears after a few weeks.

A computer simulation of a nuclear explosion on jupiter can't be too difficult. Why do the real thing?
