For the first time, scientists from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have obtained convincing evidence of the existence of a polar cyclone on the planet Uranus.
This was reported by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), as reported by Ukrinform.
“These observations tell us a lot more about the history of Uranus. It’s a much more dynamic world than you might think. It’s not just a blue ball of gas. “There’s a lot going on on this planet,” said study lead author Alex Akins of JPL.

It is noted that NASA scientists have obtained strong evidence for the existence of a polar cyclone on Uranus for the first time.
While studying the radio waves emitted by the ice giant, they discovered a phenomenon at the planet’s north pole.
The findings confirm a broad truth about all planets in our solar system with significant atmospheres: Whether planets are mostly composed of rock or gas, their atmospheres show signs of vortexing at their poles.
Thanks to this new discovery by astronomers, cyclones that rotate in the same direction as their planet, or cyclones that rotate in the opposite direction, have now been identified at the poles of every planet except Mercury, which is not at the poles of any planet in our solar system. an important atmosphere
As Ukrinform reports, scientists from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have for the first time obtained direct evidence of volcanic activity on planet Venus.
