If a bear walks south for one kilometer, then it walks west for one kilometer, then it walks north for one kilometer and ends up at the same point from which it started. What color was the bear?

Hmm, east coloured?

And kado bears at the north pole aren't really white, it's the sun + snow reflection.

You are correct on the color; As for location usually no, but there was one that crossed from Alaska to Greenland across the north pole region.

Well done Gerrit from Austria to observe it too, we do not often get in the news.

If this would happen to planet Earth, would we be able to talk about it, sort of ......survive ?

Awesome

A Guy

Good stuff.

we have no worries of that happening here Thelma, the solar system has been settled down for millions of years and all that type of stuff is history, the only reason Jupiter gets hit by something every now and then is because of it`s immense gravity, and with the sheer size an altitude of it`s atmosphere, whatever we think we see hit it actually just burns up just like here on earth, what we do see is just what`s leftover as it passes through Jupiters gases, and in no time at all, that disappears just like Comet Shoemaker Levy 9

The gas giants all have immense gravity and will eventually pull in anything coming by, it was said that shoemaker levy 9 was captured by Jupiter for 20 to 30 years before it finally succumbed to Jupiters gravity.

Dam, that was a landing, looked like a takeoff in reverse, just seems too good :)

That`s one hell of a job
