Uranus's upper atmosphere has been cooling for decades—and now scientists have shown why. Observations from Earth have shown Uranus' upper atmosphere has been cooling for decades, with no clear ...

A new detection of carbon monoxide deep in the atmosphere of Uranus is giving scientists a fresh look at the planet’s hidden ...

Uranus and Neptune remain two of the most mysterious objects in the solar system, primarily because they have been visited only by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986 and 1989, respectively. Their ...

What does the atmosphere of Uranus look like? This is what a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters hopes to address as a team of researchers from the United States and United Kingdom ...

Scientists studying Uranus have found carbon monoxide, suggesting the mysterious planet is packed with a massive icy secret ...

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 ...

On April 7, Uranus passed in front of a distant star located 400 light-years away, giving NASA scientists a rare cosmic alignment in which to investigate the distant ice giant. During the hour-long ...

Even at almost 2 billion miles away from the sun, Uranus is still affected by changing seasons and weather just like Earth. On Uranus, though, each season is an epic 21 years long because of its ...

Scientists used ground-based telescopes to get unprecedented views, thanks to the giant planet’s position in its long orbit around the Sun. For the first time, NASA scientists have strong evidence of ...
