Astronomers have just discovered that Uranus takes one full rotation and a day in 28 seconds longer than first thought. The group employed observations taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope ...

An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have made new measurements of Uranus' interior rotation rate with a novel technique, achieving a level of accuracy ...

For astronomers, determining a planet’s interior rotation rate is challenging and scientists can’t take direct measurements of Uranus.

An attempt to re-analyze ultraviolet data collected by Voyager 2 in 2009 wasn’t able to improve the understanding of how fast Uranus was rotating.

Scientists reported that observations by the Hubble Space Telescope confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full rotation.

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists reported Monday that observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full rotation. That’s 28 seconds ...

A day at Uranus just got a little longer. Scientists reported Monday that observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete ...
