What ever happened to Neptunes Great Dark Spot, the one discovered by Voyager?

0

It went away before HST could come online. Voyager data indicated that it was drifting toward the equator and would probably cross the equator only a few years after Voyager, and would probably not survive that. That seems to be what happened. Since 1994 (when the refurbished Hubble Space Telescope came on-line), there have been other Great Dark Spots seen by HST in Neptune’s *northern* hemisphere, but none for the past five years or so, though.
