The telescope observed the ice giant for a full rotation, revealing how temperature and charged particles vary with altitude.

The other discovery is the cooling of the atmosphere. Combining the observations from JWST with measurements from Voyager 2, ...

A research team has successfully created the first-ever three-dimensional map of Uranus’s upper atmosphere.

The results offer a new window into how ice‑giants distribute energy in their upper layers. The post Scientists take new ...

This makes calculating the length of a Uranian day hard enough, but it's further complicated by Uranus being tilted at 98 degrees on its axis, so it's essentially rolling on its side, with the poles ...

Uranus's mysteriously asymmetrical and skewed magnetic field has long confounded astronomers—until now. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft zipped past Uranus in 1986, it noticed that the huge gas giant's ...

Get ready to explore one of the most unusual planets in our solar system — Uranus, the tilted ice giant that spins on its side and keeps scientists guessing. Add in a lopsided magnetic field and faint ...

Blessed is the 23.5° tilt of Earth's axis. Without it there would be no seasons. Uranus has an abundance of tilt - now scientists think they know why. Read post here.

For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm. A ...

Forty years ago, Voyager 2 flew past Uranus and observed radiation levels that defied explanation. Now, scientists may ...
