NASA news: What is this DARK SPOT on Neptune? Hubble Telescope makes incredible discovery

And today (March 25), NASA has revealed in a new study the atmospheric processes, which lead to the creation of these incredible storms.

In 2015, NASA’s Outer Planet Atmosphere Legacy project (OPAL) carefully observed a dark spot on Neptune until it gradually disappeared from sight.

But then in 2018, a completely new spot emerged on Neptune, which for the first time in the history of space exploration, was observed by astronomers.

The new storm was found to measure an incredible 8,000 miles by 4,100 miles (13,000km by 6,600km).
