And soon, a group of scientists can say they have. A UK-led space mission will see astronomers blot out the Sun by using a ...

NASA’s Voyager 2 became the first and still only spacecraft to fly by Uranus, offering humanity its first close-up look at this mysterious, icy giant. Orbiting over 1.8 billion miles from Earth, ...

Electric charge is no longer required to carry information as scientists find a practical way to use spintronics in graphene.

"Uranus is weird, so it's always been uncertain how much the magnetic field actually interacts with its satellites." ...

"Uranus is weird, so it's always been uncertain how much the magnetic field actually interacts with its satellites," Cartwright said in the statement.

Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope went looking for evidence of one phenomenon and found quite another.

That craft will be tasked with mapping Uranus’ gravitational and magnetic fields, a mission that will be easier thanks to this new discovery.

As for the paper itself, it is “primarily about the interiors and the magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune, not about their atmospheres,” Militzer told Salon.

We may know why Uranus and Neptune lack dipole magnetic fields, at last.

New models using Voyager 2 data show that separate layers in the planets’ mantles could be creating disordered magnetic fields.
