Uranus, a largely unexplored giant planet in our solar system, has long been a subject of scientific intrigue. Yet, despite ...

A lone spacecraft's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years. The strange, sideways-rotating planet – the third largest in our solar ...

Starship’s heavy lift capacity, in orbit refueling, and potential aerobraking role could significantly accelerate a long-awaited mission to Uranus.

A study has finally determined where Uranus gets its heat. Researchers from the University of Houston, led by Dr. Xinyue Wang, launched a deep probe of Uranus’ data — and determined that the gas giant ...

A new computer model can be used to detect and measure interior oceans on the ice covered moons of Uranus. The model works by analyzing orbital wobbles that would be visible from a passing spacecraft.

Roll out the cosmic welcome mat for our solar system’s newest resident: a never-before-seen moon orbiting Uranus. The Webb telescope’s observations of Uranus are giving scientists better insight into ...

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the charged particles that spark auroras do not gather in neat rings.

MIT researchers have outlined how SpaceX’s Starship rocket, refueled in Earth orbit, could cut the travel time for NASA’s planned Uranus mission roughly in half. The baseline design for the Uranus ...

Much of our understanding of Uranus comes from Voyager 2's flyby, which to date remains the only time a spacecraft has visited the planet. Voyager 2's data on the magnetosphere surrounding Uranus has ...
