This approach can now be used to determine the rotation rate of any celestial object with a magnetic field and auroras — including exoplanets.

A new way to measure the length of Uranus’s day could also help determine the rotation rates of other celestial objects—including exoplanets ...

In 2022, The Planetary Science Decadal Survey in the United States prioritized the Uranus Orbiter and Probe concept for future exploration. While that mission is not off the ground yet ...

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 ...

Amid this, a controversial meme mocking the Pahalgam incident surfaced online, with a person from Bhopal being falsely implicated, and this meme and the misinformation that followed triggered ...

A day at Uranus just got a little longer. Scientists reported Monday that observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a ...

A day on Uranus just got slightly longer, thanks to more accurate measurements of its rotation period that should help scientists plan missions to probe the gas giant. Figuring out the rotation ...
