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 ...

Among the solar system’s planets, Uranus is criminally overlooked. Much like its outer solar system neighbor, Neptune, this “ice giant” world is so far from the sun (and so visually bland) that we ...

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 ...

When solar wind disturbances hit a planet’s magnetic field, they can trigger powerful electromagnetic waves called chorus waves. These waves act like a cosmic accelerator. They repeatedly “kick” ...

Voyager 2’s flyby of Uranus in 1986 recorded radiation levels so extreme they baffled scientists for nearly 40 years. New research suggests the spacecraft caught Uranus during a rare solar wind event ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. With Earth directly between Uranus and the Sun, the seventh ...
