NASA has made an incredible announcement: a new moon has been discovered orbiting Uranus, named S/2025U1. This fascinating find highlights the complexities of Uranus and its 29 moons. As astronomers ...

Scientists have mapped the upper atmosphere of Uranus in detail, revealing a cooler, thinner, and more unevenly charged layer around the planet than expected. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a ...

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, ...

For decades, Uranus baffled scientists because it seemed to have no internal heat. Now, new computer modeling shows the planet actually emits more energy than it receives from the Sun. This subtle ...

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 ...

Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to map Uranus's upper atmosphere in three dimensions. The planet's tilted rotation and offset magnetic field create complex auroras unlike those on ...

A team of researchers from the University of Zurich and the NCCR PlanetS is challenging our understanding of the solar system planets' interior. The composition of Uranus and Neptune, the two ...

Voyager 2’s flyby of Uranus in 1986 recorded radiation levels so extreme they baffled scientists for nearly 40 years. New research suggests the spacecraft caught Uranus during a rare solar wind event ...

New images of Uranus show the planet in blue, the upper atmosphere in red, auroras in lighter red spots and rings in white. ESA / Webb, NASA, CSA, STScI, P. Tiranti, H. Melin, M. Zamani (ESA / Webb) ...

The cold, icy world of Uranus is framed by a pair of rings that orbit the planet at twice the distance of its main ring system. Each ring tells a different story — the outermost ring appears blue, ...
