First of all, you thought you found a whale.
But no, it`s an area where winds are blowing faster than usual (and sometimes vertically). Basically a storm area which is moving. Jupiter has a big one, too.

No problem. My grandmother has a nice astronomy book (very scientific, but at the same time enjoyable by common readers) which I read.


Hope you weren`t sarcastic...

Actually, if it`s the Great Dark Spot, it`s about the size of Earth.

With a decent imagination and a sordid understanding of astronomy, I suppose yes, it could be a whale. Or it could be a herd of sea-dwelling giants! Or even a constantly moving dark island with magical elves on it! Or not, whichever.
