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 University ...

For decades, Uranus and Neptune have been filed neatly into the “ice giant” drawer, shorthand for worlds built mostly from ...

Uranus's mysteriously asymmetrical and skewed magnetic field has long confounded astronomers—until now. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft zipped past Uranus in 1986, it noticed that the huge gas giant's ...

NASA released new images Monday that show Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun, in greater detail than ever before. The new images of Uranus were captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and ...

The strikingly low luminosity of Uranus (Teff ~ Teq) constitutes a long-standing challenge to our understanding of Ice Giant planets. Here we present the first Uranus structure and evolution models ...

Billions of miles (kilometers) from the Sun, Uranus and Neptune are the most distant planets in our Solar System. Long cataloged as simple "ice giants," these planets might hold a major surprise.

Post equinox imaging of Uranus by HST, Keck, and Gemini telescopes has enabled new measurements of winds over previously sampled latitudes as well as measurements at high northern latitudes that have ...

Though it looks like a smooth, solid, pale blue orb, there’s more going on beneath the clouds of Uranus than meets the eye. A polar cyclone has been spotted at the planet’s north pole, researchers ...

Uranus's structure and atmosphere altered: Study Researchers made discoveries using NASA's Hubble Telescope Uranus's atmosphere made of hydrogen and helium A new study revealed Uranus’s structure as a ...
