Imagine giant slushy hailstones made of ammonia and water wrapped in a shell of ice, plunging through Jupiter’s atmosphere in ...

Observations of Jupiter show that ammonia is unevenly distributed in the upper atmosphere, against expectations of uniform mixing. Scientists found evidence for a complicated but apparently real ...

Astronomers reveal surprising findings The post Uranus’ Day is Longer: Astronomers Reveal Surprising Findings appeared first ...

By using a new technique, they found that Uranus completes a full rotation in 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds. That’s 28 seconds longer than the previous estimate in 1986.

Uranus seemed like a fairly calm, blue-green planet. But new findings from Hubble paint a different picture of Uranus.

A new way to measure the length of Uranus’s day could also help determine the rotation rates of other celestial objects—including exoplanets ...

The planet’s elusive aurorae are much colder than expected, which is how they evaded detection for so long.
