This image was taken by the space probe Voyager 2, when it passed Uranus in 1986. The smooth and featureless atmosphere can't give you a true impression of the harsh conditions on the surface of this planet. On the contrary, reading our article about Uranus will give you quite a good idea why you wouldn't want to stay on this planet for too long.
