Within just a few days of an impact on Jupiter that left its mark, the planet Venus has developed a strange light spot.

After the amateur astronomer discovered the bright spot, the find was confirmed by other members of the community, as well as by the Venus Express spacecraft, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA). Limaye said in an e-mail for Space that its appearance was gaining so much attention precisely because it had occurred just days after Jupiter developed a new dark spot of its own, most likely due to a comet hitting it. The gas giant now sports a darkened scar the size of the Pacific Ocean.
