Computer simulations show how the largest of Uranus' 27 moons are able to keep the planet's stunted rings in check.

On Monday, July 7, Uranus, our side-spinning planet of rebellion, liberation, and chaos with a capital C, swaps the placid materialist pastures of Taurus for the wild climes of Gemini.

Earth's oceans are mysterious, largely unexplored places, but the enormous oceans of Neptune and Uranus have them beat. Here's what scientists know about them.

A new study suggests that extraterrestrials could be hiding just 1.7 billion miles from Earth - on Uranus' moon, Miranda.

A day at Uranus just got a little longer. Scientists reported Monday that observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete ...

They’re running rings around Uranus. New research suggests a moon orbiting the sophomoric-sounding planet might contain enough natural resources to support alien life. Scientists from Johns ...

It turns out that a satellite just a thousandth the mass of Uranus could have tilted the planet as it migrated away from over a distance of about 10 times the radius of Uranus.

When tested with several different chemicals and various water/rock compositions, the closest recreation of Uranus and Neptune’s radius and mass required vast amounts of methane ice formed ...

But Uranus’s rings are far more narrow than what scientists think should normally be possible. Think of them as a hoop with a radius of 50,000 km and a rim that is only 10 km wide.

They say a mysterious moon migrating away from Uranus may have pulled the planet over onto its side, causing it to have a whopping tilt of 98 degrees from the orbital plane.

Large amounts of dust are being expelled from the Uranus system to settle in the ecliptic plane and contribute to the zodiacal light, a new study suggests.
