NASA researchers got a rare chance to study Uranus' atmosphere and rings this month, when the ice giant passed between Earth ...

Finally, the atmosphere provides a window on the bulk composition of Uranus – the ice-to-rock ratio, supersolar elemental and isotopic enrichments inferred from remote sensing and future \textit ...

Uranus provides a unique laboratory to test our understanding of planetary atmospheres under extreme conditions. Multi-spectral observations from Voyager, ground-based observatories, and space ...

This makes the atmosphere of Uranus the coldest in the solar system. Within the troposphere are layers of clouds — water clouds at the lowest pressures, with ammonium hydrosulfide clouds above them.

In the vast expanse between Uranus and Neptune, a team of researchers have uncovered something really quite extraordinary, a ...

Tilted axis We now have a good idea about the makeup of Uranus’ atmosphere 20 years of observations have given us more knowledge about the icy giant.

The ice-giant planet Uranus, which travels around the sun tipped on its side, is a weird and mysterious world. Now, in an unprecedented study spanning two decades, researchers using NASA's Hubble ...

Based on 20 years of observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, new research sheds light on one of the solar system’s most mysterious planets.

Known as the Uranus Orbiter and Probe, the mission will most likely involve a cone-shaped probe that will dive down into Uranus’s atmosphere, coupled with a kind of satellite that will get ...

Wind tunnels show what a probe descending into the atmosphere of Uranus or Neptune would probably need to contend with. Such a probe is a high-priority mission for both NASA and ESA.

A new analysis of 30-year-old data has revealed that the huge magnetic bubble surrounding the planet Uranus is siphoning its atmosphere off into space.

Hydrogen sulfide, the gas that gives rotten eggs their distinctive odor, permeates the upper atmosphere of the planet Uranus – as has been long debated, but never definitively proven. Based […] ...
