The seventh planet of the solar system, located between Uranus, Saturn and Neptune, has long been a case. But by analyzing observations made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope over 20 years, a research team from Arizona and other institutions is a research team. Provided new insights In the synthesis and dynamics of the planet environment.
Information about Uranus is limited. What we know is that the planet mainly contains water and ammonia ice, its diameter is about 51,000 km, which is four times higher than the earth, and its mass is 15 times higher than the earth. Uranus is also 13 rings and 28 satellites.
In January 1986, NASA’s Wigger 2 Space Investigations have been the only search for the planet, which has been conducting a flyback as part of its mission to study the outer planets of the solar system.
But thanks to this new research, we now know something else about this icy giant. According to this research, which evaluated the Hubble Images taken between 2002 and 2022, the main ingredients of the Uranus environment are hydrogen and helium, with small quantities of methane and small quantities of water and ammonia. Uranus looks light blue as the methane absorbs the red component of sunlight.
This research has also highlighted the planet’s seasons.
Unlike other planets of the solar system, the axis of the rotation of Uranus is parallel to its orbit. For this reason, it is said that the Uranus is turning into a “overturned” position, as shown in the picture below. It has been speculated This may be due to a collision with the land -shaped item in the past.
The orbit of the planet is almost 84 years old, which means, for a particular point on the surface, when the sun shines (some spring, summer, and some fall) lasts about 42 42 years, and in the period when the sun does not shine (autumn, winter and some of the spring of some 42 years). In this study, the research team spent 20 years witnessing the season.
