The James Webb Space Telescope has captured amazing new imagery of Uranus along with its rings and moons. The footage shows ...
A new computer model can be used to detect and measure interior oceans on the ice covered moons of Uranus. The model works by analyzing orbital wobbles that would be visible from a passing spacecraft.
When NASA's Voyager 2 flew by Uranus in 1986, it captured grainy photographs of large ice-covered moons. Now nearly 40 years later, NASA plans to send another spacecraft to Uranus, this time ...
Most of humanity’s knowledge about Uranus came from a 1986 Voyager 2 flyby on “a particularly windy day.” A new study says ...
A scientist simulated the contents of the ice giant worlds, and found that a fluid layer may explain each planet’s strange ...
The planet Uranus, photographed by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986. The planet and its moons are expected to be the target of NASA’s next major mission to the outer solar system.
In 1781, German-born British astronomer William Herschel made Uranus the first planet discovered with the aid of a telescope.
When NASA's Voyager 2 flew by Uranus in 1986, it captured grainy photographs of large ice-covered moons. Now nearly 40 years later, NASA plans to send another spacecraft to Uranus, this time equipped ...
A new paper, published in Geophysical Research Letters, revealed how the model could use Uranus’ moons wobble to detect the oceans. Small wobbles of the world’s moons occur as they orbit the ...
