The large storm in Saturn's North Tropical Zone is still visible.
However recent observations show a new light spot at higher latitudes
in the planet's northern hemisphere.
This was observed by Paul Maxson on 8 January 2011 and again by Tomio
Akutsu on 13 January 2011.
The provisional measurements of its position are longitude ~ 180 deg
(System 3) and latitude 56 to 57 deg N (Planetographic)
More observations of this feature are urgently required.
