This seems odd, as I did not think that the surface of the planet was visible.
It is either a cloud structure, if you look closely up above it, you also see some WHITER spots, or it could be a camera artifact. I am thinking an asteroid, would have a blackish ring or mark around it, like Jupiter did.
Did spend a little time yesterday looking on the web, but have not actually found an answer.
It does not seem to be a lens artifact, a perfectly circular storm "eye" with no evidence of inflow is not likely, recent impact seems possible - but it would have been a spectacular event and surely would have been noted. If do not get called in today, will look about a bit more.
Again - and officially now - Happy New Year!
And I remain puzzled.
