Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now know that a day on Uranus lasts for 28 seconds longer than previously thought – ...

A day on Uranus is about half a minute longer than previously thought, according to new research. Nearly 40 years ago, ...

The researchers simulated the effects of Earth’s rotational deceleration using models and laboratory experiments. They found that longer days extend the period of high sunlight in the afternoon ...

the researchers found — which is in the same ballpark as the amount the Moon's pull slows the Earth's rotation over the same period. Subscribe to our daily newsletter to keep in touch with the ...

Scientists reported Monday that observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 ...

The findings suggest that there are many more targets of opportunity for locating potentially habitable worlds across our ...

The team used more than a decade’s worth of observations of Uranus’ unique aurorae taken with Hubble and refined the planet’s rotation period. This technique revealed that it completes a rotation 28 ...

The Cedar Park-based aerospace company responsible for successfully landing on the moon last month was awarded a new ...

An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have made new measurements of Uranus' interior ...

The long-term data on the planet's auroral emissions enabled the researchers to track the positions of the planet's magnetic poles and, by extension, its inner rotation rate. Aurora on Uranus in ...
