On 4 July 2004 UT, we detected one of Uranus' southern hemispheric cloud features at K′ (2.12 μm); this is the first such detection in half a decade of adaptive optics imaging of Uranus at the Keck 10-m telescope. When we observed again on 8 July UT the feature's bright core had faded. By 9 July UT it was not seen at K′ and barely detectable at H. The detection and subsequent disappearance of the feature indicates rapid dynamical processes in the localized vertical aerosol structure.
