Our planet isn't the only place in the solar system with dramatic weather changes - Hubble recently captured seasonal changes to two of the outer planets.
Our planet isn’t the only place in the solar system with dramatic weather changes. Other planets in the solar system also experience seasons, depending on their distance from the sun, and that affects their climates. One of the many jobs of the Hubble Space Telescope is to monitor the changing seasons on other planets, particularly the larger outer planets which aren’t so often observed.

In the image you can also see the moon Io as a small orange circle, casting a black shadow toward the left of the planet.
