The magnetic field of Uranus is also tilted at 59 degrees, so it constantly sweeps past the moons faster than they can orbit the planet. The expectation from models is that it would cause a rain ...

This image of Uranus’ aurorae was taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 10 October 2022. Credit: ESA/Hubble, NASA, L. Lamy, L. Sromovsky Decades of data collected by the Hubble Space ...

For the study, a team of astronomers went searching for signs of interactions between Uranus’s magnetic field and its four largest moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon.

Voyager 2 previously found a major difference between Uranus and the other three gas giants. The space probe, launched in 1977, found that Uranus had no excess heat beyond its reflection of sunlight.

A fresh analysis of a decade's worth of Hubble Space Telescope observations shows Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full rotation — 28 seconds longer than the ...

But thanks to this new research, we now know a little more about this icy giant. According to the research, which assessed Hubble images take between 2002 and 2022, the main components of Uranus ...

These are 13 and 14 Tauri. 14 Tau is the slightly dimmer star to the east; from this star, it’s a short jaunt just 50’ farther east to land on Uranus, standing in line with the pair of suns.

An analysis of two decades of data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided fresh insights into the complex atmospheric changes on Uranus that are largely driven by the effects of the sun's ...

Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that a day on Uranus lasts for 28 seconds longer than previously thought – a difference that could be crucial in planning future missions to the ...

A new study revealed Uranus’s structure as a planet changed and brightened significantly over the past 20 years.. The study, performed by researchers from the University of Arizona and the ...

In January 1986, Voyager 2 became the first — and so far the only — spacecraft to explore Uranus, and with its data, astronomers pegged the ice giant's rotation period at 17 hours, 14 minutes ...
