PhD student built the first-ever 3D map of Uranus's upper atmosphere
Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the charged particles that spark auroras do not gather in neat rings. They sweep ...
A recent study points to an exciting possibility: that Uranus's moon Miranda, located in the far reaches of our solar system, may harbor a hidden ocean and life.
The other discovery is the cooling of the atmosphere. Combining the observations from JWST with measurements from Voyager 2, ...
Roll out the cosmic welcome mat for our solar system’s newest resident: a never-before-seen moon orbiting Uranus. The Webb telescope’s observations of Uranus are giving scientists better insight into ...
Forty years ago, Voyager 2 flew past Uranus and observed radiation levels that defied explanation. Now, scientists may ...

First-ever 3D map of Uranus’ upper atmosphere shows how magnetic field shapes auroras
A research team has successfully created the first-ever three-dimensional map of Uranus’s upper atmosphere.
A panel of planetary scientists has determined that Uranus should be a focus for future exploration by NASA. Should the recommendation go ahead, the agency could launch a $4.2 billion orbiter and ...
