The researchers used look at images of Uranus’ ultraviolet aurora, taken between 2011 and 2022 by the Hubble Space Telescope, to track the long-term evolution of the planet’s magnetic poles as ...

Two NASA spacecraft have teamed up to capture direct images of Uranus. The Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons Pluto probe formed a cool tag team to investigate the mysterious seventh ...

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 seconds longer than what was estimated during NASA’s Voyager 2 flyby in 1986.

The perception of Neptune as much darker and bluer than Uranus was "cemented" when pictures were sent back by the Voyager 2 probe after it flew by the two planets in 1986 and 1989, said The Times.

This animated GIF illustrates Uranus' magnetic field, with the yellow arrow pointing toward the Sun, the light blue arrow indicating the planet’s magnetic axis, and the dark blue arrow showing its rotation axis.

This visual shows three sequential images from the Hubble Space Telescope tracking the dynamic auroral activity of Uranus. The images were captured in October 2022 on the 8th, 10, and 24th respectively. The updated estimate of Uranus' rotation period has ...

Like the auroras that can be found here on Earth, such as the Northern Lights, Uranus’ are caused by particles striking the atmosphere and interacting with the magnetic field. More images were ...

To overcome these problems, a team of scientists led by Laurent Lamy used ultraviolet images collected by the Hubble Space Telescope between 2011 and 2022 to track auroras on Uranus. Images from ...

Models for the interior structures of the ice-giant planets Uranus and Neptune have two distinct, intermediate layers: an upper, water-rich convecting layer where disorganized magnetic fields are ...

A day on Uranus is about half a minute longer than previously thought, according to new research. Nearly 40 years ago, Voyager 2 became the first spacecraft to observe Uranus up-close. Using radio ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope introduced research findings that forced a major change in scientific understanding of Uranus. The established knowledge about Uranus’s rotation period remained unchanged throughout many decades. Scientific measurements of ...

The results inform future plans to study ... New Images Reveal What Neptune and Uranus Really Look Like Jan. 4, 2024 — Neptune is fondly known for being a rich blue and Uranus green -- but a new ...

This visual shows three panels that each show Uranus and dynamic aurora activity. The images were captured in October 2022 on the 8th, 10, and 24th respectively. Each image shows a centered planet ...

False-color images reveal chemical shifts invisible to human eyes. Red regions show stratospheric zones stripped of methane—exposing layers unseen before Hubble. Studying Uranus helps decode ...

Uranus just got a little more time on its hands. A fresh analysis of a decade's worth of Hubble Space Telescope observations shows Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a ...
