Very interesting observation of a dark mark on Jupiter... it's starting to ripple out across Twitter...

Yeah, some of those other images have really convinced me. You can clearly see a reddish plume deposit to the west and north of the impact site (or sites), akin to what was seen at many of the SL9 impacts.

Yes, the ALPO Japan Planetary Section it's full of great stuff. For example, there are updated planetary maps and the "database" goes back some years. All amateur work but very organized and well documented.
