COSMIC MESSAGE

Uranus, the Sun's third-largest planet, usually appears featureless. However, the Hubble Space Telescope photographed Uranus in infrared light last August. This allowed astronomers to see its unusual clouds, rings, and moons. Analysis indicates the orange clouds visible here circle Uranus at speeds exceeding 500 kilometers per hour.
