This technique revealed that Uranus completes a full rotation in 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds—28 seconds longer than the estimate obtained by NASA's Voyager 2 during its 1986 flyby.

Information about Uranus is limited. What we know is that the planet is composed mainly of water and ammonia ice, its diameter is about 51,000 kilometers, about four times that of the Earth, and its ...

The recent discovery of Uranus’s day is an essential milestone in planetary science. Scientists have better understood the planet’s rotation using observations by the Hubble Space Telescope.

By comparing measurements of that field, astronomers were able to estimate the planet’s rotation at 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 24 seconds. Something Strange Happened During Voyager 2’s Flyby of ...

This image of Uranus’ aurorae was taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 10 October 2022. ... 14 minutes, and 24 seconds) to complete one full rotation.

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 rotation — 28 seconds longer than the ...

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.

(WHTM) – The Hubble Space Telescope has been measuring Uranus’ interior rotation and determined that a day on the planet is longer than initially thought. According to a French-led team of ...

Astronomers have just revealed that a day on Uranus is longer than was previously thought, at 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds. This is 28 seconds longer than the previous estimate, which was ...
