For the first time, NASA scientists have found strong evidence of a polar cyclone on Uranus. The phenomenon was observed at the north pole of the planet. Researchers were able to get "unprecedented views" of the ice giant by using ground-based telescopes, owing to the position of the planet in its orbit.
