PLANET URANUS

A team of scientists, led by Dr. Richard Cartwright at the SETI Institute, are advocating for a mission to Uranus. The hope is that a mission can be designed over the next decade to take advantage of a gravity assist from Jupiter that is available only every few decades. Join Simon Steel in conversation with Richard Cartwright to learn more.

Uranus is the third largest planet in the solar system and a huge ball of gas. 64 terrestrial spheres would fit inside it. It is very far away from us, twice as far as Saturn! Uranus moves around the sun at a distance of about 2.8 billion kilometres! Therefore, it takes 84 years until it completes one complete orbit, thus completing one Uranus year. Uranus consists mainly of the gases hydrogen, helium and methane. The methane gives it its bluish colour. There is probably a solid iron core in its interior. The Earth is not a perfect sphere either, but the difference between the equatorial and polar diameters is minimal compared to that of gaseous planets. Uranus moves far away from the earth around the sun. It is not a conspicuous object in the sky. Basically, you can only find it if you know exactly where to look. It looks like a pale and inconspicuous star. #uranus #discoveringspace #nasa ---- This channel offers you full episodes of high quality documentaries.

Gas Giants are the largest and most perplexing type of planet. From their intensely pressurised cores to their beautiful outer atmospheres- in the Solar System, there are four: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune. in this episode of #OOTW, we will be visiting each of the four giants in the Solar System, before venturing out to see what's in space.

What's the correct pronunciation here? Momentum is building among planetary scientists to send a major mission to Uranus or Neptune — the most distant and least explored planets in the Solar System. Huge gaps remain in scientists’ knowledge of the blueish planets, known as the ice giants, which have been visited only once by a spacecraft. But the pressure is on to organize a mission in the next decade, because scientists want to take advantage of an approaching planetary alignment that would significantly cut travel time. #NASA #Uranus #Pronounce 👕 NEW MERCH 👕 ➡️ https://olhzn.com/merch ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord ➡️http://patreon.com/overlookhorizon 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 ➡️http://patreon.com/overlookhorizon Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Watch a full flight with beautiful views from launch to the stratosphere and back over Finger Lakes in NY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZwq86wWknk -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-

On March 10, 1977, astronomers discovered rings around Uranus! Astronomers had long suspected that Uranus has rings, but the actual discovery happened by accident. A team of three astronomers was using NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory to observe the atmosphere of Uranus. They did this during a stellar occultation, which means that a background star was passing behind the planet. Seeing how the light from that star changes when it passed through the atmosphere could yield clues about the composition of Uranus. To their surprise, the star began to flicker before it was even eclipsed by Uranus. The star disappeared and reappeared five times as it passed behind the rings. At first they believed that Uranus had five rings, but more observations have revealed that it actually has 13 rings.
