That black spot was created by a small "rogue" comet or asteroid. It was only 200 yards across (I expect a lot bigger, to make that big of a mark). Jupiter sucks in all kinds of objects that would obliterate us here on Earth. It is our celestial Sheppard.

Jupiter and our own Moon are responsible for the longevity of life on Earth, have been for ages. You should all say "Thank you Moon and Jupiter".
