Small Dark Spot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great Dark Spot (top), Scooter (middle white cloud), and Small Dark Spot (bottom).

The Small Dark Spot, sometimes also called Dark Spot 2 or The Wizard's Eye, was a southern cyclonic storm on the planet Neptune. It was the second most intensive storm on the planet in 1989, when Voyager 2 flew by the planet. When first discovered, it was a dark cyclonic storm. As Voyager 2 approached the planet, a bright core of cloud activity developed.^{[citation needed]}
