Scientists find Uranus radiates more heat than once believed, reshaping our understanding of giant planets and guiding NASA’s next mission.

Researchers from the University of Houston, led by Dr. Xinyue Wang, launched a deep probe of Uranus’ data — and determined ...

The poles can flip over the course of hundreds or thousands of years, and this can happen at random, with intervals ranging anywhere from 10,000 years to 50 million years or more. Around 41,000 years ...

NASA’s Voyager 2 became the first and still only spacecraft to fly by Uranus, offering humanity its first close-up look at this mysterious, icy giant. Orbiting over 1.8 billion miles from Earth, ...

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 ...

We now have a good idea about the makeup of Uranus’ atmosphere 20 years of observations have given us more knowledge about the icy giant.

By using a new technique, they found that Uranus completes a full rotation in 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds. That’s 28 seconds longer than the previous estimate in 1986.

A new way to measure the length of Uranus’s day could also help determine the rotation rates of other celestial objects—including exoplanets ...

Aurora lights on Uranus helped NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope measure the planet’s interior rotation rate, changing what astronomers know about how long a day is on the cold and windy world.

Hubble space telescope discovers Uranus' day is 28 seconds longer than previously estimated. New findings improve tracking of Uranus' magnetic poles.

The Hubble Space Telescope has recorded the ice giant's period of rotation with unprecedented accuracy.

A day on Uranus just got slightly longer, thanks to more accurate measurements of its rotation period that should help scientists plan missions to probe the gas giant. Figuring out the rotation ...
