Jupiter in poor and very windy conditions; only 12 combined images; the dark
streak in the NNTB is becoming increasingly thicker and more intense and as
ASO images from 01-15-03 show, there are two white spots now associated with
this growing feature; also note the dark NTB streak just past the CM.

with some associated white spots; note the are pr. the GRS and darkening of
