Hi Matija,

Peter is correct of course: there will be no meteorites from any of the gas giants. However,
perhaps you meant one of Jupiter's satellites? That would be a possibility. Of course, the impact
producing such future meteorites would have to be sufficiently energetic for fragments to
escape not only the satellite's gravity, but also the large gravity well of Jupiter itself. --Rob

Hi Martija,

Jupiter is a gas giant. The chance of a meteorite from the planet is 0.

Thanks,

Peter

Does anybody has heard of meteorite from Jupiter? Does it exists? Does anybody suspects that maybe he is in possesion of it?
Thanks,
Matija
