The results contradict the other leading theory for the origin of the spot's striking color -- that the reddish chemicals come from beneath
The results are being presented this week by Kevin Baines, a Cassini team scientist based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, at the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Science Meeting in Tucson, Arizona.
