Dark spot on Uranus, Another giant planet gets the chicken pox

Guests	The weather of Uranus gets more interesting when Uranus turns the northen hemisphere towards the Sun. There was some suggestions that Uranus was in a calm phase when Voyager 2 flew by. Even though the contrast have been enhanced, the image from Hubble suggest that it might very well have been the case. More info and image at Hubble Site NewsCenter
