Uranus as it will appear in the January 2025 night sky. (Image credit: Chris Vaughan/Starry Night) During January, Uranus will be observable from dusk to beyond midnight as it leads far brighter Jupiter across the sky. Visible in a backyard telescope or binoculars on moonless nights, its sma...
These included the first spectroscopic measurement of the rotation period of Uranus, evidence that Venus's rotation is very slow, the existence of reflection nebulae and hence interstellar dust, and the stationary lines that prove the existence of interstellar calcium and sodium. After Lowell's ...

The third house is the house of perception. It is the antenna through which we take in the information of the world around you and the style through which you then share information with others, whether through verbal communication, the written word, art, bodily expression, or anything else. ...
The tilt of our planet has remained remarkably stable over billions of years—which is unheard of in the solar system. The other planets have all sorts of random tilts (for example, Venus turns backwards, and Uranus is flipped on its side), but these tilts change all the time. The chang...

If the moon didn't rotate, we would be able to see all sides of its surface. Likewise, if the moon's rotation were faster or slower, we'd eventually get a glimpse of the entire moon. So why does the moon rotate only once each time it orbits the Earth? The short answer is gravity...
Sometimes kids ask really simple questions – and parents have no idea what the answers are. When one of our colleagues was asked what it sounds like on the planet Uranus, she was stumped. And so were we! So we asked an expert. (And, yes, we know this su
(Phobos is slowly spiralling into Mars and will likely break apart or fall into the surface in a few thousand years.) Beyond the asteroid belt, are four gas giant planets that each have a pantheon of moons. As of late 2018, Jupiter has 79 confirmed moons, Saturn has 53, Uranus has ...
Why Is Uranus Colder Than Neptune? What Is The Faint Young Sun Paradox? In 1972, legendary astronomer Carl Sagan and his colleague George Mullen proposed theFaint Young Sun Paradox: Why was the earth warm when the sun was dim? As it ages, our sun gets bigger, hotter, and brighter, thank...
