Japanese astronomers captured footage of a potential impact on Jupiter, just a little more than a month since a similar incident was observed.

A team, led by Ko Arimatsu of Kyoto University, released footage of a mysterious bright light appearing on the gas giant for about four seconds on October 15.

Jupiter has been colorized to show the bright light.

Last month, amateur astronomers captured a bright light appearing for a few seconds on the gas giant.

The first recorded impact on Jupiter was the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) that hit in July 1994 and last month (pictured), amateur astronomers captured a bright light appearing for a few seconds on the gas giant
