Uranus and Neptune may soon lose their reputation as the “boring” planets of the solar system. Long overshadowed by the grandeur of Jupiter and Saturn, scientists now believe that beneath ...

Both of the ice giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, lacked what's known as a "dipole magnetic field." This was in stark contrast to our own rocky world, as well as the two gas giants Jupitar and ...

The hidden moons were discovered orbiting Uranus and Neptune, and the discovery brings the moon counts for these planets to 28 and 16, respectively. The discovery of these hidden moons is both ...

It was NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched in 1977, that took photos of Uranus and Neptune during flybys of both the planets – in 1986 and 1989, respectively.

Sub-Neptune planets, which are about the size of Uranus and Neptune, are among the most common exoplanets observed. Militzer’s model suggests that their interiors might also have these non-mixing ...

Voyager 2/ISS images of Uranus and Neptune released shortly after the Voyager 2 flybys in 1986 and 1989, respectively, compared with a reprocessing of the individual filter images in this study to ...

In 1986 and 1989, Voyager 2 made the final two stops on its grand tour of the outer solar system when it swept by Uranus and Neptune, respectively. Now, nearly 40 years later, ...

A 1986 image of Uranus and a 1989 image of Neptune released shortly after each Voyager 2 flyby, compared with the study’s reprocessed images of the planets that better approximate their true colors.

In the case of Uranus, the core is the size of Mercury, and Neptune’s is slightly larger, more Mars-size. Previously, scientists had thought the interiors of the two planets would be more mixed.

Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus will be in the southeastern sky while Neptune, Venus, and Saturn will occupy the southwestern sky at approximately 9:30 p.m. local time.

When NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft made its way to outer regions of the solar system in the late 80's, it noticed something odd. Both of the ice giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, lacked what's ...
