NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and New Horizons spacecraft simultaneously set their sights on Uranus recently, allowing scientists to make a direct comparison of the planet from two very different viewpoints.

In a bold collaboration, NASA has brought together the powerful imaging capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons spacecraft to study Uranus in an entirely new way. This joint mission is not just about better understanding Uranus,

Studying exoplanets is not easy. Despite enormous steps forward in technology, models, and observational tricks, astronomers are still looking at small dots either blocking some starlight or reflecting it while being next to a bright object that easily outshines them.
