Neptune's atmosphere has zones like Jupiter, and the dark spot aka the "Great Dark Spot" is about the size of the Earth. It's caused by a storm much like Jupiter's Great Red Spot only much smaller.
The lighter colored clouds of methane crystals in the upper atmosphere is simply being blown away by this storm to reveal the darker layer of gases underneath.
The current Dark Spot on Neptune is located in the Northern Hemisphere of Neptune. The Great Dark Spot and the Small Dark Spot have disappeared. Dark Spots on Neptune are constantly disappearing and forming. Former Dark Spots can still exist as cyclones and look like a cloud but will have lost its darkness. In this way the Great Dark Spot may still exist but only as a cyclone. Again, it may be lost forever.
The Great Dark spot on Neptune is a huge storm with tempestuous winds of 500 MILES PER HOUR
The 'great dark spot' on Neptune - was discovered by the Voyager II spacecraft in 1989.

That would be Neptune. The Great Dark Spot (also known as GDS-89) was similar to Jupiter's. Both Neptune's and Jupiter's 'spots' are anticyclonic storms. However Neptune's spot have shorter 'lives'. The Great Dark Spot disappeared in 1995, however since then an almost identical spot emerged in Neptune's northern hemisphere. This new spot, called the Northern Great Dark Spot (NGDS), has remained visible for several years.
