NASA researchers make observation of Uranus polar cyclone in first photos


NASA researchers peered below Uranus clouds using huge radio antenna dishes


NASA scientists have found strong evidence of a polar cyclone on Uranus for the first time.

Researchers examined radio waves emitted from the ice giant and detected the phenomenon at its north pole.

NASA said in a release that the findings, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, confirm a broad truth.

For all planets with substantial atmospheres in the solar system, whether they are composed of mainly rock or gas, the atmospheres show signs of a vortex at the poles.
