Changes on the face of Uranus

Changes on the face of Uranus
Changes on the face of Uranus Uranus’ serene atmosphere is punctuated by possibly seasonal storms, which appeared both before and after its equinox in 2007. The south polar haze dimmed, and the north polar haze brightened with the change of seasons.
