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

On average, from the point of view of the sun, the Earth completes one full rotation around its axis every 24 hours or 86,400 seconds, give or take a few milliseconds. A millisecond (ms) is 0.001 of a ...

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

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, ...

On March 13, 1781, Uranus was discovered – and with it came a host of cosmic mysteries. In this video, we uncover the strange secrets of the solar system’s third-largest planet, from its ...

Using over ten years of data from the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have figured out exactly how long it takes Uranus to spin once on its axis.

This is due to the planet’s highly tilted magnetic field, which is significantly offset from its rotational axis. The findings not only help astronomers understand Uranus’ magnetosphere but also ...

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

Lightshow On Uranus Unlocks Its Rotation Secret – Its Day Is 28 Seconds Longer A new technique has measured the day on the ice planet with 1000 times more precision.

A French-led team studied a decade’s worth of aurora observations at the ice giant to track its magnetic poles. That long-term tracking provided a more precise rotation period for Uranus, the ...
