Jumping Jupiter
The planet of Jupiter has been seen literally jumping on its own axis.
Astronomers who witnessed the event thought it was a glitch in their computer analysis of the video taken by a passing satellite.
However, after further analysis, they noticed it jumped up and down one time every 36 hours.
A possible cause of this "Planet Jumping Syndrome" is that massive amounts of ice which accumulate at the poles of a planet create an unstable balance between the poles creating a "spinning top" effect.
Then after the ice melts, the effect disappears.
It is thought that this effect only happens during the winter months for the planet.
Thus, a simple climate effect create a whole planetary change shocking another worlds population.
