What do you mean it's not there? There certainly is iron and silicon present in these spectral studies. It happens to be consistent with comet material and it happens to be consistent with my theory oeverall. I have no doubt that Jupiter has an abundance of these elements as well. If you saw huge plumes of hydrogen and hydrogen we the primary thing being blown out by the impact, THEN you might have a case. The lack of helium and hydrogen pokes huges holes in the gas model assumption that has been applied to Jupiter.

Now you shift the attention to what you read into the article about other things.

What other things?

Furthermore, this article clearly talks about the unusual stuff that has been found, not the expected things. If they had noticed that Jupiter was not mostly hydrogen, it would have been the first point made. As nothing unexpected with regards to the hydrogen content of the planet was found, nothing is noted. Or do you suggest that Jupiter is mainly made of sulfur?

No, I doubt it's made of sulfur, but I'd bet money that sulfur was from volcanic activity that came from puncturing a solid surface that probably consists of iron covered in silicon. The fact it left a gaping visible DARK crater on Jupiter, pretty much precludes Jupiter from being mostly helium and hydrogen with a little heavy metal at the core. That meteor hit something a LOT harder than helium.
