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.

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 ...

But thanks to this new research, we now know a little more about this icy giant. According to the research, which assessed Hubble images taken between 2002 and 2022, the main components of Uranus ...

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 — that's 28 seconds longer than the ...
