In a new revelation, the researchers have found that the true colours of Neptune and Uranus are very similar and not starkly different as was believed earlier. NASA’s Voyager 2 mission, which had carried out flybys of Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in 1989, was able to capture the first detailed images of the two ice giants in our solar system.

Neptune and Uranus show true colours: Planetary neighbours aren't all that different

NASA, on Monday (Dec 18) released new images of Uranus which showed the seventh planet from the sun in more detail than before. The photos captured by the American space agency’s high-powered James Webb Space Telescope show the planet’s glowing rings, moons, storms, and other atmospheric features including a seasonal polar cap.

In a stunning claim, the scientists have stated that an infrared northern lights-style aurora, which was spotted on Uranus, is likely to be holding the key to finding alien life.

Is northern lights-style aurora in Uranus hiding key to alien life? Scientists hint so

Astronomers have achieved a significant milestone in their exploration of the solar system by capturing the elusive infrared auroras of Uranus using archived data from the colossal Keck II telescope located on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

Auroras make celestial light show on Uranus possible, scientists find

NASA scientists have found a vortex of relatively warm air swirling over the north pole in Uranus, providing strong evidence for the first time on the existence of a cyclone.

For the first time ever, Astronomers have detected X-rays from Uranus. It's unusual but is it good news or bad news?

Gravitas: Scientists detect X-rays from Uranus

In a first, astronomers have detected X-Rays from Uranus using Chandra X-ray Observatory. This result may help scientists learn more about this enigmatic ice giant planet in our solar system.

Scientists discover X-rays coming from Uranus for the first time

Uranus wasn’t always tilted! A study claims that the planet was struck by an earth-size rock which then titled it and may also be responsible for birthing the planet’s moons.
