First-ever Polar Cyclone Observed on Uranus by NASA Scientists

NASA scientists have detected a polar cyclone on Uranus for the first time, using ground-based telescopes to examine radio waves emitted from the ice giant. The observations went deeper into Uranus' atmosphere than any before, revealing that the circulating air at the north pole seems to be warmer and drier, the hallmarks of a strong cyclone. The findings confirm that all planets with substantial atmospheres in our solar system show signs of a swirling vortex at the poles.
