A new study reveals the makeup of Uranus atMosphere

Each period, the search team looked like the South Chicken Region has shortened go to the winter Polery North Polypus flashed as well as approached. Browse the planet from four different points in time, years of comfort, powdered as the gradual change of seasons. Top row shows how the planet when displaying with the light only visible.

The second row from the top is a pseudo-color image based on visible and almost infrared observations. Green indicates less methane in the atmosphere that blue, and red indicates methane absence. The lowest-meter levels in the poles (which, remember, I am on the most folky leads more than their top and bottom) indicate that there is no metronal variation. In the left of the left in this row, the south green pole moving in darkness. In the other three images, the green region, the ground-member of the North Pole can be seen in view. (The fourth row shows the same lack of metane variation, but without coloring.)

But which of the third row? This sample abundance of Aerosol About, using pictures of visible light and infrarring that have not been colored. The light areil are cloudy with high Aerosol abundance, and the dark areas are clear with low aircraft abundance. What is useless in these images is here is it variance of season. The Arctic region was clear at the beginning of spring (in 2002), but became cloudy as summer (2012 to 2022). Instead, the Antarctic region seems to be cleared as the expiry progressed in the winter. The team believes that these seasonal changes are evidence that the only ones change Aerosol Mixed levels in the planet.

Although the results of this study covering a 20-year period of 20, this is only reflecting a period of seasonal change in the Uranus atmosphere. The search team will continue to observe Uranus as polar regions moves in news seasons, to gather more data.
