 The nickname "Wizard's Eye" given to this storm comes from its distinct features which create a striking eye-like appearance.Overall the Small Dark Spot is significantly smaller but on the same order of magnitude as the Great Dark Spot and rotates about 30° further south and with a period about 2 hours shorter than the larger storm.The dark oval of this storm which created the overall outline for the eye-like shape was formed by a clockwise rotating vortex which sucked atmosphere inward toward the planet center.
