1986 Voyager 2 flyby observed planet at a very unusual time, researchers say

Astronomers have discovered three small moons at the farthest planets of our solar system — two circling Neptune and one around Uranus.

The ice giant Uranus and its rings steal the show in this Dec. 18, 2023, image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope captured new images of

The observations are vital for piecing together the science objectives for a future mission to Uranus.

The Republican-controlled House Budget Committee is set to convene a hearing Wednesday to examine legislation that would establish a so-called fiscal commission for the U.S. debt, a proposal that critics have called a Trojan horse for Social Security and Medicare cuts.House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-L...

After capturing the best photos of Neptune in decades in 2022, NASA has pointed the James Webb telescope's high-powered lenses at the solar system's other ice giant, Uranus.

Voyager 2 flew by Uranus in 1986, giving us our only up-close look at the planet – but unusual space weather just before the craft arrived has given us a misleading idea about the planet's magnetic field

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently trained its sights on unusual and enigmatic Uranus, an ice giant that spins on its side. Webb captured this dynamic

The James Webb Space Telescope has a treat to celebrate the upcoming second anniversary of its launch. NASA and the ESA, which operate the craft alongside...

What else could be down there?

Using data from the Voyager mission, researchers found that four of Uranus's moons likely have liquid water oceans beneath icy crusts.

'If the moons had benefited from long-term heating, then they could have maintained a thick ocean.'

Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, finding a bland, featureless world. Now, in 2023, JWST's sights are similar. There's a reason for that.

Influential panel's recommendation makes the ice giant a likely destination for a flagship space mission

When NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus in 1986, it provided scientists' first close glimpse of this ice-giant planet.

UK Space Agency awards £30k in funding to 10 teams racing to solve the complex problem

Five of the Uranus moons might be ocean worlds − and if there's water, there might be life.

Recently published findings confirm that the sub-surface ocean of Enceladus contains plenty of phosphorus, the last critical life ingredient scientists had yet to detect on the Saturn...

A new study suggests oceans for 4 Uranus' moons. If true, they'd join a growing number of ocean worlds in the outer part of our solar system. The post Oceans for 4 Uranus' moons likely, astronomers say first appeared on EarthSky.
