😯👉Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and one of the giants of our solar system. It is so large that about 63 Earths could fit inside it. Although it does not receive as much attention as Jupiter or Saturn, Uranus is still an enormous world. With a diameter of roughly 50,724 kilometers, it is about four times wider than Earth and has more than 60 times Earth’s volume — a clear sign of its immense size. A helpful way to understand this scale is to imagine stacking Earths inside Uranus. Do

We're always talking about Mars, but are you ready for a trip to Uranus? 🚀✨ While the distance between Earth and this ice giant changes daily, at its closest, the planet (and its 28 Moons) are 1.6 billion miles from us. Uranus has only been visited once by Voyager 2 in 1986 but on April 7, a stellar occultation gave planetary scientists a chance to gather important data about how the middle atmosphere of Uranus' works. That information could help enable future exploration efforts to the planet.

This is real data from Voyager 2 as it swept past Uranus in 1986. The probe revealed a sideways-tilted world, faint rings, deep cold and storms barely visible in the planet’s pale atmosphere. No spacecraft has returned since. Follow @spaceeves #Voyager2 #Uranus #NASA #SpaceEves | SpaceEve
