Clouds in atmosphere of Uranus
Uranus. Coloured Hubble Space Telescope near- infrared image of Uranus, showing clouds in its hydrogen & helium atmosphere. Clear atmosphere is blue, atmospheric haze is green, high-altitude haze is red and high haze over a clear lower atmosphere is purple. Uranus south pole is green and its equator is purple. Five high-altitude clouds (red spots) near the right edge are almost as large as continents on Earth. An equatorial cloud at a lower altitude appears as a green spot. Uranus rings and moons (white) are seen orbiting the planet. Image taken by Hubbles Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). date 20 November 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the ethereal beauty of Uranus, one of our solar system's most enigmatic planets. Taken by Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) on November 20,1997, this image reveals the mesmerizing clouds swirling within Uranus' hydrogen and helium atmosphere. The vibrant colors in this print depict different atmospheric phenomena. The clear atmosphere appears as a serene shade of blue, while the green hues represent an atmospheric haze enveloping the planet. At higher altitudes, a striking red hue signifies high-altitude haze, contrasting with a purple tint that overlays a clear lower atmosphere. Notably, near the right edge of the photograph are five colossal red spots resembling continents on Earth. These massive high-altitude clouds add to Uranus' mystique and intrigue astronomers worldwide. Additionally, an equatorial cloud at a lower altitude is visible as a distinct green spot. As we explore further into this image, we can also observe Uranus' rings and moons gracefully orbiting around it – depicted here in pristine white against the backdrop of its majestic atmosphere. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about our universe and showcases both Hubble's technological prowess and scientists' relentless pursuit of unraveling celestial mysteries.
