HelloOver the last two nights I have finally managed to do some observing in between the clouds!! The dark spot on Jupiters emerging SEB was clearly visible at 250x, and even at lower magnifications. Is the thinking that this is part of the SEB returning, or that the SEB will ‘grow’ out of this spot? Or is this dark sopt simply another marking/weather system on Jupiter. I don’t suppose that it’s the result of an unseen impact?
