Among the solar system's eight planets, only Jupiter and Saturn are larger. Its unusual tilt makes Uranus appear to orbit the ...

Much of the understanding of the seventh planet comes from a brief flyby nearly 40 years ago, which researchers now say overlapped with an exceptional solar event.

Scientists gathered much of the knowledge about Uranus after NASA's robotic spacecraft conducted a five-day flyby in 1986.

A solar wind event days before the NASA probe flyby in 1986 may have compressed the planet’s magnetosphere, making it look odder than it usually is.

Since Uranus' orbit is exceptionally slow, orbiting the sun about once every 84 Earth years, it'll be mostly in the same spot it was this year when Earth comes around again next year. The next ...

When Voyager 2 flew past the ice giant 38 years ago, it revealed a magnetosphere warped by solar winds, a finding uncovered through recent analysis of archival data.

What made Uranus' magnetosphere so strange were its ... NASA would launch a spacecraft by 2032 that would orbit the planet and send a probe into its atmosphere.

Its unusual tilt makes Uranus appear to orbit the sun like a rolling ball. Uranus, which orbits almost 20 times further from the sun than Earth does, has 28 known moons and two sets of rings.
