COSMIC MESSAGE

This dark marking on Jupiter is the latest impact scar, a debris plume from a small asteroid or comet. The object disintegrated after plunging into the gas giant's atmosphere in its south polar region. The Hubble Space Telescope, with its newly installed Wide Field Camera 3, captured this sharp view of the evolving plume.
