What causes the curved dark streak? Is this a region devoid of dust or perhaps a shadow cast from an out of plane dense dust jet ? (There does seem to be a corresponding bright streak to the left which could be the source of the shadow. Would this be consistent with the current geometry relative to the sun ?)
