IR image of Uranus atmosphere
Uranus atmosphere. Coloured infrared image of three layers of the atmosphere of Uranus. The red around the planets edge represents a thin haze at high altitude. The haze is so thin that it can only be seen by looking at the edge of the planets disk. The yellow near the bottom of the disk is a lower, hazy layer. The blue near the top of Uranus is a clear layer which is beneath the haze. Around the planet are the rings of Uranus. Uranus atmosphere consists mainly of hydrogen with traces of methane. Its layers are created by different mixtures of gases. Image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on 3 July 1996

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic atmosphere of Uranus, a distant planet in our solar system. Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on 3 July 1996, this coloured infrared image reveals three distinct layers that make up Uranus' atmospheric composition. Starting with the red hue encircling the planet's edge, we witness a delicate haze at high altitudes. This thin veil is so faint that it can only be observed when gazing at the periphery of Uranus' disk. Moving downwards, a yellowish layer emerges near the bottom of the disk, representing a lower and hazier region within its atmosphere. Contrasting against these ethereal tones is an exquisite shade of blue near the top of Uranus. This clear layer lies beneath the haze and offers us a glimpse into its pristine depths. Surrounding this magnificent gas giant are its iconic rings, adding to its allure and mystique. Uranus' atmosphere primarily consists of hydrogen with traces of methane, giving rise to these distinctive layers formed by varying mixtures of gases. Through this remarkable image captured by Science Photo Library's lens, we gain insight into one of our universe's most intriguing celestial bodies – unveiling both its beauty and complexity for all to behold.
