Assuming you’ve accepted Pluto’s demotion, Uranus and Neptune are the two planets in our Solar System farthest from Earth. That distance means humanity is still learning a lot about them. Some of ...

Scientists have predicted that there could be large planets the size of Jupiter or Uranus likely trapped at the edge of our solar system, much farther than the hypothetical planet X. Such a planet ...

The planet Uranus was given its tilt after being hit in a "cataclysmic collision" by a massive object roughly twice the size of Earth, new research has suggested. A study by researchers at Durham ...

Uranus and Neptune may not be the icy worlds we’ve long imagined. A new Swiss-led study uses innovative hybrid modeling to reveal that these planets could just as easily be dominated by rock as by ...

Far from the Sun, Uranus has long looked like a quiet, teal marble in the dark. Yet a reexamination of decades old spacecraft readings now points to a violent episode in its past, when a blast of ...

Two telescopes have teamed up to measure of a distant alien world about the size of Uranus that had remained almost a complete mystery since its discovery a decade ago. The exoplanet, known as ...

A team of scientists explains Uranus' lopsided angle, its freezing temperatures, and irregular magnetic fields. Durham University researchers ran detailed computer simulations to explain Uranus' ...

A young Uranus was hit by a large object about twice the size of Earth in the early days of the solar system, findings of a new study have revealed. The collision could also help explain the planet's ...

Sky-gazers will have a good chance of seeing the icy planet Uranus from just 1.7 billion miles away Thursday night — without the help of a telescope. Uranus is making a close approach to our planet, ...

It’s been a big year for Uranus. We’ve learned quite a bit about the planet thanks to new research efforts aimed at explaining why it behaves dramatically different when compared to the other planets ...
