Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the Sun, and so that last time that planet's north polar region was pointed at Earth, radio telescope technology was in its infancy.
But now, scientists have been using radio telescopes like the Very Large Array the past few years as Uranus has slowly revealed more and more of its north pole.
Data also reveals patterns in temperature, zonal wind speed, and trace gas variations consistent with a polar cyclone. But the VLA in New Mexico has now been studying Uranus the past several years, and observations collected in 2015, 2021, and 2022 were able to peer deep into Uranus's atmosphere.
