Hubble Tracks Rotation of Uranus This view of Uranus was acquired by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and reveals a pair of bright clouds in the planet's southern hemisphere, and a high altitude haze that forms a "cap" above the planet's south pole. This is just one view of a sequence ...
Uranus' magnetic field is odd for it is not centered on the center of the planet and is tilted almost 60¡ from the axis of rotation. It is probably generated by motion at relatively shallow depths within Uranus. Neptune has a similarly displaced magnetic field, which suggests the magnetic ...
large0.55Rn3and inclined by 47° with respect to the rotation axis (Nesset al., 1989). It was necessary forNesset al.(1989)to exclude from their OTD analysis all observations of the field obtained atr≤4Rn.One indication of how nondipolar the field of Neptune is can be obtained by ...
At the time of the solstice on Uranus, one of the poles is at the center of the disk. At equinox, one sees the equatorial regions. Winter lasts for 42 years. More oddity derives from a magnetic field offset by 60 degrees from the axis of rotation. The magnetic center is 5,000 miles...
Uranus has been visited by only one spacecraft, Voyager 2 on Jan 24 1986. Most of the planets spin on an axis nearly perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic but Uranus' axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic. At the time of Voyager 2's passage, Uranus' south pole was pointed ...

Uranus - Gas Giant, Rings, Moons: At Uranus’s distance from the Sun, the planet takes slightly more than 84 Earth years, essentially an entire human life span, to complete one orbit. The eccentricity of its orbit is low—that is, its orbit deviates litt
planetary rotation period had produced widely differing values, ranging from 24 to 13 hours, until Voyager 2 finally established a 17.24-hour rotation period for the Uranian interior. Since Voyager’sencounter, advances in Earth-based observational technology have added to knowledge of the Uranian ...
with its magnetic axis tipped nearly 60 degrees away from the planet's axis of rotation. This leads to a strangely lopsided magnetic field for Uranus, with the strength of the field at the northern hemisphere's surface being up to more than 10 times that of the strength at the south...
re totally over them, you’ll find some amusement in the fact that you’re on their mind after all this time. After all, you’re simply amazing and hard to get over. When push comes to shove, you are the one that everyone wants in their romantic corner because you’re one of a ...
