Cool. It's 5:27 pm EST here on The Jersey Shore.

Jupiter will be visible in a just a little while.

My back yard faces due east. The Atlantic is eight miles east. When the Summer is over and the boardwalk closes down there is no light pollution

Even at sea level. In Winter I can sometimes see a faint spiral arm of the Milky Way.

I have a six inch Newtonian refractor scope.,

[null and void]

it’s staring back at me...

Thanks for posting this interesting APOD!

Perhaps its just a void produced by the eye of a whirlpool in the upper layers of the atmosphere. (See the vortex about 8:55 min into this Video) The inverted whirlpool

Other speculation......The plumber in me says someone pulled the plug and the Jovian surface is slowly draining into the hollow core.

The Sci Fi side of me says maybe its a A floating cloud city with domed observation area, or this is a worm hole, but I am not certain if you can use it to travel to distant places or if something large and terrifying pokes its head out from time to time.

Perhaps this is abiotic oil formed by pressure under methane atmosphere of Jupiter. The super chilled viscous oil collects and a tornado like swirling of freezing winds spin it around slowly forming a gooy mountain up to the surface. Think a pool/mound of really dense oily taffy moving in a slow circle.
