Several naively employed techniques I used in Photoshop increased the contrast of this collision remnant. NASA released the original taken July 23rd by the Hubble telescope today or thereabouts. At this point the estimated size of the object which caused it is unclear. The JPL infra-red telescope in Mauna Kea displays this photo of Jupiter.
It's frustrating in that I can only find two good photos on the entire internet.

Also, compare with a near-simultaneous white cloud seen on Venus. Still some possibility of comet impact although no cometary cloud - coma - was seen in space. Best bet is still a volcano. See best pix of the Venus White Spot.
Now there is another astounding planetary impact: an unknown object smashing through one of Saturn's rings

here's some video taken from the 60m optical at Mt. Wilson Observatory (the one Hubble worked at)
