AUSTIN — Imagine a spacecraft dancing with distant moons, detecting tiny wobbles that could reveal vast hidden oceans beneath thick layers of ice. This isn’t science fiction; it’s a cutting-edge ...

A new study that modeled Uranus and its magnetosphere suggest that, when the planet is at the correct angle, solars winds can enter the magnetosphere and blow through. The findings seem to match ...

For decades, Uranus and Neptune have been filed neatly into the “ice giant” drawer, shorthand for worlds built mostly from ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The ongoing search for oceans in our solar system is taking us to Uranus. A new computer model, designed by researchers at the University of Texas, could help a future NASA mission ...

A flyby of Uranus in 1986 is where we gathered much of our knowledge about the distant ice giant, but new research has found that this may not have been a standard representation of the planet's ...

A pale blue-green enigma, the planet Uranus has long fascinated astronomers precisely because of its extreme distance, some 1.6 billion miles (2.6 billion km) from Earth. While it is comparatively ...
