Scientific paper
Physical observations of Jupiter from the 18th century are rare. The most diligent observer of the planet of that era was Johann Schroeter, who in 1785-86 recorded multiple short-term, transient dark spots. Schroeter's observations are discussed in detail. Though somewhat reminiscent of the recent Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact events, the authors conclude that Schroeter's observations furnish a unique record of SEBn activity in the 18th century.
