- The enhanced image shows Uranus’s difficult-to-detect rings, atmospheric storms and many of its 27 moons.
- NASA released the image on Monday, December 18, 2023, as a supplement to an earlier picture; Hubble had barely detected more than a faint ring.
- The image shows a more pronounced seasonal cloud cap over the north pole and bright storms beneath it, whose patterns NASA says may reflect seasonal and meteorological effects.
- Because of its 98-degree axial tilt, a Uranus year lasts about 84 Earth years; NASA says the planet will reach its next solstice in 2028, when the north pole points directly toward the Sun.
The number of these storms, as well as the frequency and location at which they occur in Uranus' atmosphere, could be attributed to a combination of seasonal and meteorological effects— NASA explained in a press release
