US EditionMysterious dark spot on Neptune detected from Earth for first time
- Astronomers have discovered a significant dark spot in Neptune's atmosphere, along with a smaller adjacent bright spot. This is the first time a dark spot on Neptune has been observed with a terrestrial telescope.
- The dark spots on Neptune are not permanent features and their nature and origin remain a mystery. The new observations indicate that they are likely caused by air particles darkening in a layer below the main visible haze layer in Neptune's atmosphere.
- The researchers used the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope and its Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer to obtain detailed observations of the dark spot.
