Hubble Helps Unlock Uranus’ Secret Rotation Rate
A team of astronomers using NASA’s European Space Agency (ESA) Hubble Space Telescope has made precise measurements of Uranus’ rotation rate, achieving accuracy 1000 times greater than previous estimates. By analyzing more than a decade of Hubble observations of the planet’s aurorae, researchers have refined Uranus’ rotation period and established a crucial reference point for … Read more
