Uranus just got a little more time on its hands. A fresh analysis of a decade's worth of Hubble Space Telescope observations shows Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full ...

A day on Uranus is about half a minute longer than previously thought, according to new research. An analysis of 11 years of Hubble Space Telescope observations shows that Uranus' day lasts 17 hours, ...

rotation. Here’s the puzzle: That is about 6 minutes, or one percent, longer than the radio rotational period measured by the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft, which flew by Saturn in 1980 and 1981.

Somewhere deep below Saturn s cloud tops, the planet rotates at a constant speed. Determining this interior period of rotation has proven extremely complicated. Now, with new Cassini results, a team ...

Astronomers have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis, differs considerably from that of the Sun. The observation provides insights into the fundamental stellar ...

The interior of the Sun does not rotate at the same rate at all latitudes. The physical origin of this differential rotation is not fully understood. It turns out, long-period solar oscillations ...

Ultimately, we do not understand where glitches come from or exactly what's going on inside pulsars. What do you get when you stare at the same dead star for more than 20 years? Insight into the ...
