Hubble and New Horizons Views of Uranus
In this image, two three-dimensional shapes (top) of Uranus are compared to the actual views of the planet from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (bottom left) and NASA's New Horizon's spacecraft (bottom right). Comparing high-resolution images from Hubble to the smaller view from New Horizons offers a combined perspective that will help researchers learn more about what to expect while imaging planets around other stars with future observatories.
