http://www.solarviews.com/eng/impact.htm I still find it amazing to look at those photos and see the size of the dark areas from the impact. But no, that's not what caused the new red spot. Smaller spots merged to become one large storm. It has darkened to match the great red spot. How do you know? Because it was a slow process. It started several years ago and there are still pictures of the three spots/storms merging and forming one large spot/storm. The comet impacts were farther south, and were watched by nearly everyone as they slowly faded from view. Clear Skies Chuck Taylor Do you observe the moon?
