Interesting little tidbit here..article says amateur spotted it..anyone else notice this? Either way, any ideas on what could cause Jupiter to lose a stripe?
I was under the assumption the darker bands and spots (such as in the Great Red Spot) were from stronger winds dredging up material from below. Could the missing darker band just mean the winds have died down enough to let the darker material settle?
