Compared to the orbital plane in which the planets sit, Uranus’ axis sits at 98 degrees, meaning that during its northern summer, the sun shines directly onto its north pole and never sets.

That gravitational drag upended Uranus' axis of rotation, and the ice giant 's existing moons imposed other gravitational forces in multiple directions.

In the 2022 view, Uranus’ rotational axis is severely off-kilter, causing the planet’s north pole to be turned toward the Sun.

Hubble images published in March 2023 showed how the planet’s rotational axis had shifted, tilting Uranus’ north pole toward the Sun.

Uranus marches to the beat of its own weird little drum. Although it shares many similarities with our Solar System's other ice giant, Neptune, it has a bunch of quirks that are all its own.

There’s probably a lot more of them and we just need to keep looking,” said Matthew Tiscareno, a senior research scientist at the SETI Institute. He made the comment after a find that is a testament ...

New Picture Of Uranus's Rings Is Nothing Short Of Magnificent JWST has captured an incredible infrared view of the seventh planet in the Solar System.

Uranus radiates more energy than it gets from the sun, two new studies find — just as Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune do.

Scientists have found that Uranus emits its own internal heat, contradicting data from NASA's Voyager 2 probe nearly four decades ago.
