Uranus scaled one in 250 million

Last crawled date: 5 years, 5 months ago

Similar to my post of Neptune, this model of Uranus could not represent a topography because it has not a solid surface. Insted of that, the model relief represents the height of the clouds by its albedo, in the time the image was taken. Gas planets have diferent wind speeds for any latitude, so the storms and clouds are constantly changing its positions. It is based on the high contrast images from the Keck telescope.
The ring system of Uranus is quiet complex. to make it scalable, the rings are reduced to three zones, with the outer one the most bright.
The file's names explained: name_1_x_10_y.stl is 1 : x * 10y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.
