The most detailed images of Uranus' atmosphere ever

monkeyhybrid writes: The Planetary Society's Emily Lakdawalla reports on the most detailed images of Uranus ever taken.

If you ever thought Uranus was a dull blue looking sphere then look again; you could easily mistake these images for being of Jupiter!
