Lets have a look of an outer planet weather report! Hubble Telescope regularly checks in on the outer planets in our solar system to monitor changes in seasons and atmospheres.

In these recent images of Jupiter, a “vortex street” of storms rage in the lower northern latitudes, seen as a wave pattern in the first image. Check the image below.

Meanwhile, Jupiter’s famous Great Red Spot continues to storm in the second image, but it’s actually shrunken down to the smallest size it’s ever been over observations records from the past 150 years. But for context, the storm is still big enough to swallow our entire Earth! Imagine how big it is!!

Over at Uranus, these two images taken in 2014 and 2022 show the planet’s unusual orbit, which takes 84 years as it rolls on its side around the Sun. The latter image displays Uranus’s hazy north pole, with several little storms along its boundary. Check the images below.
