Caption ESA:"This image, of the ‘Eye of the Hurricane’ on Venus was taken by the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) on board Venus Express.
This picture shows a Region in the Venusian Atmosphere about 60 Km from the Surface, at a wavelength of about 5 micrometres. In this figure, the dipole assumes an eye-like shape and from here until the last image, it is possible to see how its shape evolves rapidly in a span of only 24 hours.
The yellow dot in the image indicates the location of the South Pole".
