Summary
Description Neptune Dark Spot Jr. Hubble.png |
English:
The smaller dark spot in this Hubble image may have been a piece of the giant storm that broke off as the larger vortex approached the equator. Hubble uncovered the giant storm in September 2018 in Neptune's northern hemisphere. The large feature is roughly 4,600 miles across. The estimated width of the smaller spot is 3,900 miles.
