As a professional science communicator who works a lot with space at this age group, I am disappointed," said Dr. Mark Gallaway.

Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, has only been visited once by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, which performed a flyby of the ice giant in 1986. It came within just tens of thousands of miles of ...

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 ...

Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the most detailed map yet of Uranus's upper atmosphere. The planet's tilted rotation and offset magnetic field cause its auroras to be complex ...

On January 19, the Webb space telescope stared deep into the chaotic world of Uranus for 17 hours, observing as the faint glow from molecules above the planet’s clouds meets its unusual magnetic field ...

When it's not busy dissecting distant galaxies or creating dark matter maps, the James Webb Space Telescope is also making a name for itself closer to home. To wit, it has produced the first-ever ...

For the first time, an international team of astronomers have mapped the vertical structure of Uranus's upper atmosphere, uncovering how temperature and charged particles vary with height across the ...

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 ...

Life is about to get so much better for four zodiac signs now that Uranus is turning direct on February 3, 2026. Uranus turned retrograde on September 6, 2025, and since then, we've experienced a lot ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has peered at Uranus, left, and Neptune to study the so-called "ice giant" planets, but little is known about their interior composition. Credit: NASA / ESA / M. Showalter / ...

Uranus and Neptune may not be the icy worlds we’ve long imagined. A new Swiss-led study uses innovative hybrid modeling to reveal that these planets could just as easily be dominated by rock as by ...
