Using ground-based telescopes to examine radio waves, NASA scientists have found strong evidence of a polar cyclone on the ice giant Uranus for the first time.
NASA shared a video taken by its Solar Dynamic Observatory showing dark patches on the sun, giving the illusion of a smile. Researchers examined radio waves emitted from the ice giant and detected the phenomenon at its north pole.
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.
