Voyager 2's flyby of Neptune discovered a large storm on the planet, nicknamed "The Great Dark Spot", after the "Great Red Spot" on Jupiter.

However the Great Dark Spot soon vanished. It was then realised by scientists that it was just a temporary storm, unlike the one on Jupiter.

Every now and again, black spots appear all over the planet. Theses are anticyclonic storms. These storms can travel up to around 2,000mph.

What kind of spot does Neptune have?

When Voyager 2 did a flyby of Neptune in 1989, a Great Dark Spot was discovered. The spot was an anticyclonic storm very similar to the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. However later Neptune's spot disappeared. It was concluded that the spot was only a temporary storm, unlike Jupiter which has been raging for hundreds of years before it was even discovered. Occasionally new spots appear on Neptune and vanish again hours later. Again, these are anticyclonic storms. Neptune is so far the stormiest planet discovered.
