If human life existed on the planet Uranus, it’s likely the same phenomenon might happen. But now we know that a single day on Uranus is 28 seconds longer than astronomers first calculated in ...

The upshot is that we now know that a day on Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds, or 28 seconds longer than the best previous estimate made by NASA’s Voyager 2 during its 1986 flyby.

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 ...

A day on Uranus just got slightly longer, thanks to more accurate measurements of its rotation period that should help scientists plan missions to probe the gas giant. Figuring out the rotation ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

Uranus just got a little more time on its hands. A fresh analysis of a decade's worth of Hubble Space Telescope observations shows Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a ...

An analysis of two decades of data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided fresh insights into the complex atmospheric changes on Uranus that are largely driven by the effects of the sun's ...

This technique revealed that Uranus completes a full rotation in 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds—28 seconds longer than the estimate obtained by NASA's Voyager 2 during its 1986 flyby.
