The question where the missing mass of the asteroid belt, Jupiter's answers using their hunts eagles asteroids.
September 9, 2010: In an article published today in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters, a group of professional and amateur astronomers announced that Jupiter is being beaten with a frequency surprising small asteroids, which produce recurring fireballs in the giant planet's atmosphere and thus the light.
"Jupiter is a large gravitational vacuum," said Glenn Orton, who is one of the co-authors of the paper and an astronomer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL, for its acronym in English). "It is now clear that relatively small objects, which are remnants of solar system formation, 4,500 million years ago, still frequently hit Jupiter."
Many have endured and remain in orbit of the planet, with irrgularidad states that betrays its origin, which are above the axis are prograde the bottom of the shaft are retrograde.
Today is September 21, 2010, closest approach between Earth and Jupiter, whose brightness exceeds Venus, which is visible in the morning, so the Jupiter occupy more or less the place of Venus night, not so near the horizon, this is mistaken. That happened recently when I was visiting the Valley of the Moon in the Province of San Juan. Below Jupiter
