KUWAIT, Feb 14 (KUNA) -- The Kuwait Environment Protection Society (KEPS) has underscored the significance of the water consumption rationalization program that is part of the society's efforts aimed at raising people's awareness toward the environmental issues.
Unlike Uranus, Neptune sometimes exhibits a dark spot known as âthe great dark spot.â The 8,000 mile long spot, which resembles Jupiterâs Great Red Spot, is a huge area of storm activity that is thought to represent a hole in Neptuneâs methane cloud. Unlike Jupiterâs spot, however, the great dark spot seems to have a much shorter life-span and is cloud-free in the middle. There have been several of these spots that have come and gone on Neptune since 1989. Winds in excess of 1,500 miles per hour have been recorded within the spot, making it the solar systemâs windiest place.
The scooting of this cloud around the atmosphere has led it to be named Scooter.. When Voyager 2 visited Neptune, its pictures showed a giant storm much like the storm on Jupiter. This storm is called the Great Dark Spot because it appears as a dark oval shape on the surface of the planet. We do not know how long this storm has been active or if it is still present.
