Space exploration missions have revealed that polar vortices aren’t uncommon beyond Earth. They’ve been observed throughout ...

The reason this worked so well is thanks to Hubble’s consistent, long-term observations. Over more than a decade, the space ...

Uranus seemed like a fairly calm, blue-green planet. But new findings from Hubble paint a different picture of Uranus.

Unlike the aurorae of Earth, Jupiter, or Saturn, Uranus’ aurorae behave in a unique and unpredictable manner. This is due to the planet’s highly tilted magnetic field, which is significantly offset ...

(CNN) – An international team of astronauts has discovered new measurements of how long a day is on Uranus. The team used the Hubble Space Telescope to track the planet’s rotation period.

This makes calculating the length of a Uranian day hard enough, but it's further complicated by Uranus being tilted at 98 degrees on its axis, so it's essentially rolling on its side, with the ...

Miranda, the deformed and most undersized of Uranus' large moons, features a patchwork of ridges, valleys, and great cliffs. Scientists consider its mixed-up surface to be the product of intense ...

Astronomers have just revealed that a day on Uranus is longer than was previously thought, at 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 ...

That included some oddities, such as the fact that Uranus’ magnetic field was both highly tilted and offset ... no longer able to find the magnetic axis of the planet less than two years ...

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 ...
