Dramatic changes on Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter revealed in 10 years of Hubble Telescope images (video)

The Hubble Space Telescope has spent more than three decades providing some of the most incredible images of the known universe, but it’s only in the past decade that scientists have set their sights on the outer planets of our solar system, observing them like never before.

For the past decade, NASA’s Outer Planet Atmosphere Legacy Program (OPAL) has been acquiring detailed views of long-term changes in the skies of the four closest giant stars to Earth: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, each with a Unique collection of atmospheric variables. OPAL data allows astronomers to observe weather patterns and seasons on these exoplanets to better understand their dynamics and changes over time.
