NASA researchers got a rare chance to study Uranus' atmosphere and rings this month, when the ice giant passed between Earth ...

The data collected will help researchers understand how Uranus’ atmosphere functions and how it has evolved over the past 30 ...

Determining a planet's interior rotation rate is challenging, particularly for a world like Uranus, where direct measurements are not possible. A team led by Laurent Lamy (of LIRA, Observatoire de ...

Researchers call Uranus an ice giant because its interior consists largely of these fluids, all of which have low freezing points. The planet's atmosphere is mostly made up of hydrogen and helium.

A stellar occultation this month gave scientists an opportunity to scrutinize the seventh planet from the Sun.

(WHTM) – The Hubble Space Telescope has been measuring Uranus’ interior rotation and determined that a day on the planet is longer than initially thought. According to a French-led team of ...

An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has made new measurements of Uranus’ interior rotation rate with a novel technique, achieving a level of accuracy 1 000 ...

When a planet's orbit brings it between Earth and a distant star, it's more than just a cosmic game of hide and seek. It's an ...

The team used more than a decade’s worth of observations of Uranus’ unique aurorae taken with Hubble and refined the planet’s rotation period. This technique revealed that it completes a rotation 28 ...

Space weather creates the Northern Lights on Earth, and more recently, aurora lights on Uranus helped Nasa’s Hubble Space Telescope measure the planet’s interior rotation rate, changing what ...
