Uranus Found Emitting Internal Heat, Reviving Hopes for Flagship NASA Mission
- Thursday July 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have discovered that Uranus emits 12% more heat than it receives from sunlight, contradicting past data from Voyager 2. The internal warmth likely comes from leftover energy in the planet’s core, offering clues to its tilt and interior structure. This unexpected heat has intensified calls for a flagship NASA mission to Uranus. Scienti...

Hubble Finds Cosmic Dust Coating Uranus’ Moons, Not Radiation Scars
- Thursday June 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New Hubble Space Telescope observations have upended decades of expectations about Uranus’ moons. Scientists once thought the planet’s magnetic field darkened their backsides with radiation, but the latest data shows Titania and Oberon are collecting space dust on their leading sides instead. This “cosmic bug splatter” effect suggests dust ...

Scientists Finally Discover How Long a Day Lasts on Uranus
- Saturday April 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers confirm Uranus’ rotation period using internal oscillation modeling for the first time. On Uranus, a day just lasts far longer. More precise rotational time observations of the gas giant should enable scientists to plan visits to investigate it. Unlike on Mars and Earth, savage windstorms make it far more difficult to identify the rot...
