This is the location of the "5-micron hotspots" and Juno will be flying over this region on PJ4. These haven't been imaged up close since the days of the Galileo Mission...

    It's such a shocking contrast to see a dark spot like that, what makes it a hotspot? Usually hot things are lighter not darker

    The dark spot seems to be one of the most noticeable facets of Jupiter when looked at like this. I wonder what causes the darkening of that area? Super interesting.

    This dark spot seems to have different activity than usual on the surface of Jupiter.
