Hubble telescope tracks gas giant transformations.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of Jupiter and Uranus, showing changes in their weather and seasons over time. Uranus has a peculiar, tilted axis that causes one hemisphere to be without sunlight for about 42 years at a time. In November 2022, Uranus' north pole had a large off-white circle caused by a thickened photochemical haze, while Jupiter's Great Red Spot was observed to be shrinking. Scientists are using Hubble to better understand the atmospheric dynamics and evolution of these outer planets.
