Feast your eyes on Uranus’ glowing edges. We’re serious—a team of astronomers has spotted a new aurora on the seventh planet from the Sun, glowing at infrared wavelengths. Ultraviolet aurorae were ...

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have produced the first three-dimensional map of Uranus’ ionosphere, revealing temperature shifts and cooling patterns that challenge existing ...

Otherwordly Seasons: Uranus, the seventh planet in the Solar System, is an "ice giant" that travels around the Sun while tipped on its side. NASA describes the planet as a mysterious and mostly ...

Similar to the giant gas planets Jupiter and Saturn, their smaller cousins, Uranus and Neptune, have long been known to harbor swirling clouds and violent winds churning up their atmospheres. Massive ...

What does the atmosphere of Uranus look like? This is what a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters hopes to address as a team of researchers from the United States and United Kingdom ...

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the charged particles that spark auroras do not gather in neat rings. They sweep ...

When NASA's Voyager 2 passed Uranus several decades ago, it discovered that the blue gas ball which rolls around the Sun had a vortex around its southern pole. However, studies showed no changes in ...

Scientists used ground-based telescopes to get unprecedented views, thanks to the giant planet’s position in its long orbit around the Sun. For the first time, NASA scientists have strong evidence of ...

A Northumbria University PhD student has led an international team of astronomers in creating the first-ever three-dimensional map of Uranus's upper atmosphere, revealing how the ice giant's unusual ...

Uranus, the seventh planet in the solar system, located between Saturn and Neptune, has long been a mystery. But by analyzing observations made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope over a 20-year period, ...
