NASA's Hubble captures 'newest view' of Neptune showing monstrous dark storm; pic inside

NASA on December 16 shared a stunning im of Hubble’s “newest view of Neptune”. While taking to Instagram, US ncy wrote that im shows a monstrous dark storm near top centre that is wider than Atlantic Ocean. picture also shows a small dark spot that emerged nearby to “giant storm”. 

In caption, NASA explained, “ giant storm was previously seen moving southward, where storms are expected to vanish due to atmospheric forces near equator, but it appears to have me a sudden U-turn and drifted back rthward”.

According to official press release, ncy said storm was born in planet’s rrn hemisphere and it was discovered back in 2018. NASA informed that Hubble has tracked similar dark spots over past 30 years, however, recent im w shows “unpredictable atmosphere behaviour” which is something new. Michael H. Wong of University of California at Berkeley said that smaller dark spot is potentially part of dark spot’s disruption process. 

Wong ded, "This is a process that's never been observed. We have seen some or dark spots fing away, and y're gone, but we've never seen anything disrupt, even though it’s predicted in computer simulations”.

NASA explained that similar dark spots were earlier discovered by Voyr 2 craft in 1989, but y h disappeared before Hubble could observe m. Since n, Hubble has h “sharpness and sensitivity” in visible light to track such dark spots, which have sequentially appeared and n fed away over a duration of about two years each. Wong said that it was really exciting to see spots”. He ded that it was “surprising” to see m “act like it's supposed to act and n all of a sudden swinging back”.
