Why is Uranus Looking Kind of Pale These Days?

 A. Seasons.

A year on Uranus is oh, about a human lifespan. 84 years.

And it's flipped on its side.

The pale area now being seen at Uranus' north pole is a "thickened photochemical haze" edged with storms. It's a giant cloud, in other words. A really, really big cloud. And it's probably normal for the time of year.

We just don't know what normal for any time of year is yet on Uranus. 84 years, people.
