The Hubble Space Telescope has peered at Uranus, left, and Neptune to study the so-called "ice giant" planets, but little is known about their interior composition. - NASA / ESA / M. Showalter / L.

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have produced the first three-dimensional map of Uranus’ ionosphere, ...

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 ...

The world’s largest iceberg, A23a, is finally breaking apart after drifting for decades. Scientists say its collapse could reshape Antarctic ecosystems and reveal deeper changes unfolding across the ...

A Northumbria University PhD student has led an international team of astronomers in creating the first-ever three-dimensional map of Uranus's upper atmosphere, revealing how the ice giant's unusual ...

Models for the interior structures of the ice-giant planets Uranus and Neptune have two distinct, intermediate layers: an upper, water-rich convecting layer where disorganized magnetic fields are ...

Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to map Uranus's upper atmosphere in three dimensions. The planet's tilted rotation and offset magnetic field create complex auroras unlike those on ...

On January 19, the Webb space telescope stared deep into the chaotic world of Uranus for 17 hours, observing as the faint glow from molecules above the planet’s clouds meets its unusual magnetic field ...

Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the most detailed map yet of Uranus's upper atmosphere. The planet's tilted rotation and offset magnetic field cause its auroras to be complex ...
