Far from the Sun, Uranus sits tipped on its side, carrying a magnetic system unlike any other planet’s. Its equator tilts about 97.7 degrees relative to its orbit, so the planet spends long stretches ...

Revisiting old data from Voyager 2, scientists have worked out how a dense, shocked region of the solar wind could have manipulated Uranus' magnetosphere. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Scientists have found that Uranus is emitting its own internal heat — even more than it receives from sunlight — and this discovery contradicts observations of the distant gas giant made by NASA's ...

For decades, scientists puzzled over why Uranus seemed colder than expected. Now, an international research team led by the University of Houston has solved the mystery: Uranus emits more heat than it ...

Nearly four decades after Voyager 2 skimmed past Uranus, a fresh look at its measurements is reshaping what scientists thought they knew about the ice giant’s strange magnetic environment. By ...

For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm. A ...

It's been almost 40 years since Voyager 2 flew past Uranus, but its readings from that whistlestop flyby have remained some of the most important for how we understand the planet. But new data from a ...

Roll out the cosmic welcome mat for our solar system’s newest resident: a never-before-seen moon orbiting Uranus. The Webb telescope’s observations of Uranus are giving scientists better insight into ...

(CNN) — Astronomers using the powerful eye of the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted a previously unknown moon whirling around Uranus, according to NASA. The discovery boosts the number of moons ...

Roll out the cosmic welcome mat for our solar system’s newest resident: a never-before-seen moon orbiting Uranus. A team of astronomers announced Tuesday that a new satellite measuring roughly 90 ...
