A new computational model suggests that Uranus' and Neptune's cores may be less icy than their "ice giant" nickname suggests.

For decades, Uranus and Neptune have been filed neatly into the “ice giant” drawer, shorthand for worlds built mostly from ...

For decades, Uranus and Neptune have carried the tidy label of “ice giants,” shorthand for worlds built mostly from frozen ...

A new study that modeled Uranus and its magnetosphere suggest that, when the planet is at the correct angle, solars winds can enter the magnetosphere and blow through. The findings seem to match ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The ongoing search for oceans in our solar system is taking us to Uranus. A new computer model, designed by researchers at the University of Texas, could help a future NASA mission ...

Uranus wasn't ready for its closeup 38 years ago. I speak of the 7th planet from the Sun, and third largest in our solar system, which received a flyby — 50,000 miles above the planet — from the ...

There are plenty of interesting things about Uranus. Its season lasts as long as its day, it’s the second least-dense planet, and it has a collection of 27 moons. But maybe the most puzzling fact ...

Uranus' tilted spin might be due to a lost, large moon. This moon's gravity slowly tilted Uranus over time. The moon's outward drift caused this tilting effect. The process ended when the moon ...

Neptune is fondly known for being a rich blue and Uranus green -- but a new study has revealed that the two ice giants are actually far closer in color than typically thought. The correct shades of ...

The moons revolving around Uranus and Neptune may have been formed from large rings that used to surround the planets. According to a report published Thursday in the journal Science, such rings may ...
