#KnowledgeByte: #Voyager 2 caught #Uranus during a rare solar wind event that crushed its magnetosphere and stripped its plasma.

Re-analysis shows its magnetic field isn't uniquely dead, significantly raising the odds that moons #Titania and #Oberon hide subsurface oceans.

De ringen rond Uranus hebben een verschillende herkomst
Hoewel ze om dezelfde planeet draaien, hebben de buitenste ringen van Uranus twee heel verschillende ontstaansgeschiedenissen.

Thanks to consecutive clear skies and the 📷s by
@huubeggen
, one can easily see that #Venus moves a lot faster across the sky than #Uranus. This nicely reflects the difference in orbital period (7.5 months vs 84 years, although Earth's orbit around the Sun also affects the daily move).

Uranus's Largest Moon: Titania

Explanation:
Titania's tortured terrain is a mix of canyons, cliffs, and craters. NASA's interplanetary robot spacecraft Voyager 2 passed the largest moon of Uranus in 1986 and took the feature picture. That the trenches of Titania resemble those on another moon of Uranus, Ariel, indicate that Titania underwent some violent surface event possibly related to water freezing and expanding in its distant past. Although Titania is Uranus's largest moon, it is only about half the radius of Triton - the largest moon of Uranus's sister planet Neptune, which itself is slightly smaller than Earth's Moon. Titania, discovered by William Herschel in 1787, is essentially a large dirty iceball that is composed of about half water-ice and half rock. There is recent speculation that radioactive heating melts some underground ice into oceans.

Observing Ice Giant Atmospheres

Uranus is one of our solar system’s oddest inhabitants, stuck spinning on its side with a tilted and offset magnetosphere. To better understand it, a team observed the planet for 17 hours with JWST. The near-infrared measurements gave new insight into the planet’s ionosphere, where auroras form. They found that temperatures peaked between 3,000 and 4,000 kilometers, while ion densities peaked at 1,000 kilometers. They also confirmed previous observations that Uranus’s upper atmosphere is cooling down. (Image and video credit: ESA/Webb/NASA/CSA/STScI/P. Tiranti/H. Melin/M. Zamani; research credit: P.

William Herschel discovered #Uranus OTD in 1781 https://toilet-guru.com/blog/36.html?s=mb #astronomy #history

Happy birthday to Uranus!

On 3/13/1781, William Herschel observed Uranus and correctly identified it as a planet rather than a star. If we'd only taken his suggestion to name the planet after King George III, we would have been spared centuries of schoolboy sniggers about the "discovery of your anus".

#Voyager2's close encounter with #Uranus wasn't in the original plan
At the time of Voyager 2's launch, Uranus wasn't part of the formal plan. The mission was referred to for a long time as the Mariner Jupiter-Saturn project. The #JPL engineers famously had other ideas and ensured the #spacecraft had enough fuel to continue on a trajectory to Uranus and beyond if the mission was approved.
