2 decades of Hubble Space Telescope data track changing seasons on Uranus

An analysis of two decades of data from NASA’s Hubble Cosmos Stargazer’s tool has provided New insights into the complex atmospheric changes on Uranus that are largely driven by the effects of the sun’s radiation.

Uranus, the seventh Heavenly body from the sun, is unique for its extreme axial tilt, with its equator and Path making nearly at a right angle — likely the result of a collision with an Earth-size object long ago. This tilt causes the Heavenly body’s poles to experience prolonged, Dim winters and Intelligent summers, leading to dramatic seasonal shifts, especially at the northern and southern poles. Regardless of these extreme traits, however, Uranus remains one of the least understood planets in our Sun-related neighborhood, largely because it was only visited by a single spacecraft nearly 40 years ago, Voyager 2 — and that sole encounter coincided with an exceptional solar event, Beyond complicating our understanding of the distant ice giant.
