In September of 2003 NASA sent their Galileo space probe on a terminal decent into Jupiter's atmosphere. About a month later, on October 19th, this photo was proportedly taken. It show an odd dark surface feature which might be the result of a nuclear detonation.

Lets say that have a healthy sense of skeptism about this image. Can any of you provide any evidence to collaborate this report?

This photo taken by the Cassini Imaging Team on 9/6/2003 shows what appears to be the same feature well before October 19th, and before Galileo is sent crashing into Jupiter.

My contact on Jupiter, Ferdinand Feghoot III, says the Jovians are preparing a reply.
