This new Hubble Space Telescope image confirms the presence of a dark vortex in the atmosphere of Neptune. The full visible-light image (left) shows that the dark feature resides near and below a patch of bright clouds in the planet's southern hemisphere. The full-color image (right) is a close-up of the complex feature. The vortex is a high-pressure system. The image at bottom right shows that the vortex is best seen at blue wavelengths.
