1784 W. Herschel in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 74 238 I am inclined to think, that the white spot has some little revolution, and therefore is not with its center exactly at the pole of Mars.

1807 New Encycl. XVIII. 5/1 When he [sc. Mars] turns his north pole towards the sun, it is observed to be occupied by a broad white spot.

1877 Analyst 4 41 On the Rotation of Saturn... At the time of the discovery of the white spot this determination of Herschel was not known to me.

1880 Observatory 3 654 There is a conspicuous white spot visible, just S. of the Jovian equator, which has maintained a permanency and distinctiveness of form quite unusual with these objects.

1903 Pub. Astron. Soc. Pacific 15 222 Observations of the white spot on Saturn were made with the 36-inch refractor.

1972 Jrnl. Brit. Astron. Assoc. 82 88 The white spot [on Jupiter] was in central meridian transit at 04 hrs 24 min.

2005 J. Benton Saturn & How to Observe It iv. 97 Other moderately large white spots can arise sporadically within 10° on either side of Saturn's equator.

3. More fully white spot disease. A disease affecting fish in aquariums, hatcheries, and fish farms, characterized by the development of small white spots on the skin and gills, and caused by the ciliate protozoan parasites Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (in fresh water) and Cryptocaryon irritans (in salt water).
