Webb maps Uranus’s upper atmosphere, revealing cooling temperatures, shifting auroras, and the effects of its tilted magnetic field.

For the first time, an international team of astronomers have mapped the vertical structure of Uranus's upper atmosphere, uncovering how temperature and charged particles vary with height across the ...

Why Uranus is hotter than scientists originally thought.

Uranus does not behave like an ordinary planet. Its magnetic field tilts by nearly 60 degrees and sits off-center, so the charged particles that spark auroras do not gather in neat rings.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first vertical view of Uranus's upper atmosphere, delivering an unprecedented look at the planet's ionosphere and auroral structures. The new ...

Uranus spins on its side, creating a wild magnetosphere. Unlike Earth's stable bubble, Uranus's magnetic field is lopsided ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped Uranus’s upper atmosphere in three dimensions, tracking temperatures and charged particles up to 5,000 kilometers above the clouds. Webb’s sharp vision ...

New images of Uranus show the planet in blue, the upper atmosphere in red, auroras in lighter red spots and rings in white. ESA / Webb, NASA, CSA, STScI, P. Tiranti, H. Melin, M. Zamani (ESA / Webb) ...

Webb has delivered the first detailed 3D view of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, uncovering glowing auroras, heat peaks thousands of kilometers high, and the powerful influence of its tilted magnetic field ...

New research using the James Webb Space Telescope offers the most detailed portrait yet of how auroras form on Uranus.
