Shoemaker Levy 9 Remnants?

Hi All,

I have a question that I thought someone may be able to help with here.

While looking at a great shot by Lester here, I noticed at the bottom band of Jupiter there are about 4 white spots that instantly reminded me of the spacing of the Shoemaker Levy 9 impact photographs of when the comet broke up and impacted with Jupiter a few years back.

Could these white patches be left over "holes" in the cloud layers from this event?

It may have already been asked and solved but I am curious.

Thanks in advance

Chris
