NASA researchers got a rare chance to study Uranus' atmosphere and rings this month, when the ice giant passed between Earth and a distant star, creating a "stellar occultation." This rare event ...

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 ...

If human life existed on the planet Uranus, it’s likely the same phenomenon might happen. But now we know that a single day on Uranus is 28 seconds longer than astronomers first calculated in ...

I admit: I'm fascinated by Apple's new Dynamic Desktop feature, which became widely available with the launch of macOS Mojave last week. There's just something magical about a wallpaper that shows ...

The upshot is that we now know that a day on Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds, or 28 seconds longer than the best previous estimate made by NASA’s Voyager 2 during its 1986 flyby.

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 ...
