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, ...

Rising global temperatures are driving the sharp decline in terrestrial water storage. This trend isn’t likely to change, scientists say.

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 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 ...

The Earth's axial rotation is perturbed by gravitational ... that occurred across Africa as a result of the African Humid Period (Figure 2b). This database classifies lakes as "low" (lake is ...

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

That long-term tracking provided a more precise rotation period for Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun. From that distance, it takes about 84 Earth years for Uranus to orbit the sun.
