DePasquale (STScI) sorae – The latest image of Uranus taken by the Hubble Space Telescope This is “Uranus” taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in November 2022, which sorae introduced in an article on April 3, 2023. This image of Uranus taken by Hubble is characterized by its pale light blue color on the left and the white cap-like clouds on the right. According to the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), which operates the Hubble Space Telescope, this white area is photochemically generated high-altitude haze, similar to smog above cities. Uranus is far away from the Sun, so it takes regarding 84 years to orbit the Sun once. Since Uranus’s axis of rotation is tilted at regarding 98 degrees with respect to its orbit, Uranus’s northern and southern hemispheres have periods of 42 years of being illuminated by the sun and periods of not being illuminated by the sun. Uranus reached its vernal equinox in 2007. Sixteen years later, the current season in the Northern Hemisphere is summer, and the summer solstice will arrive in 2028. The polar cap-like haze surrounding the North Pole seems to be getting brighter every year.Read original article
