That's no typo. Apparently Jupiter has a Great Dark Spot near its north pole that is larger than its more famous Great Red Spot (where "larger" means twice the size of Earth-kinda-big!) It turns out that this spot is more ephemeral. Check it out at NASA where you will also find some amazing images. There's also a Slashdot discussion of this.
