Answer with Explanation

Hubble space telescope revealed that the new dark spot is a near mirror image of the one found in the Southern Hemisphere. Bright, high-altitude clouds accompany the new northern dark spot. Atmospheric gases that flow up over the spot cool to form the methane-ice crystal clouds. The new spot might be a hole in Neptune's methane cloud tops, giving astronomers a peek at lower levels of the atmosphere.
