Anthony's animation gives a nice perspective of 2 days of slow retrograde rotation 
any feedback from JAXA re the bright spot?
it appears to be positioned in a low topo area and assuming it is bright because its hotter could it be volcano/vent Phil-Tony??
or cyclone/storm Phil-Tony conveying heat from the surface to the cloud tops??
again many thanks, L |
JAXA team are investigating the bright spot, NASA as well. It only lasted a few days so it may have been lava or other volcanic activity, doubt we will get a definitive answer any time soon. It was in a low area near previous lava flow so only guessing at this time. Great excitement anyway!
Numerous other activities here apart from Venus so early to bed every night and up before 3am followed by a full day so now pleased to be able to get some good sleep again, Jupiter and Saturn await.
cheers, Phil
