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

Uranus and Neptune may not be the icy worlds we’ve long imagined. A new Swiss-led study uses innovative hybrid modeling to reveal that these planets could just as easily be dominated by rock as by ...

Although they are technically gas giants, Uranus and Neptune are referred to as "ice giants" due to their composition.

Far from the Sun, Uranus sits tipped on its side, carrying a magnetic system unlike any other planet’s. Its equator tilts ...

Powerful waves unleashed by solar storms could be the key to understanding extreme radiation. (SwRI) researchers now think they have found the answer to a puzzle that has lingered for nearly four ...

Revisiting old data from Voyager 2, scientists have worked out how a dense, shocked region of the solar wind could have manipulated Uranus' magnetosphere.

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered evidence that Uranus and Neptune could be far rockier on the inside than anyone expected.

Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, orbits in the outer solar system, about two billion miles (3.2 billion kilometers) from Earth. It is an enormous world – quadruple the diameter of Earth, with ...

Let’s stop pretending, shall we? Because really, we’re not fooling anyone. Uranus is funny. It was funny when you were twelve, and it’s funny now. It was certainly funny when I was a boy and went to a ...
