Neat high-resolution ground-based image of Saturn on the S & T website. There is a tiny black spot approximately centered on the pole, the news article says it has been confirmed visually at Pic du Midi in France. IIRC, Pic uses a telescope in the 1-meter class. Have any locals seen this black dot? Imaged it? (Remember what black dots on gas giants turn into, according to Arthur C. Clarke? And it's not even 2010 yet!) Chuck
