Our only visit to the #IceGiants was in the 1980s with Voyager 2 🛰flybys. Since then, what little we’ve learnt has been from limited telescope observations. Many in the #space community agree a trip to #Uranus ⚪️ & #Neptune 🔵 is long overdue. Let’s do it. It’s time to go back!

Uranus has never looked better. Really. Only Voyager 2 and Keck (with adaptive optics) have imaged the planet's faintest rings before, and never as clearly as Webb’s first glimpse at this ice giant, which also highlights bright atmospheric features.

¡Interesante! ¡Nuevo estudio sugiere que la migración de un satélite antigua pudo haber sido la causa de que #Urano ahora gire a 90 grados! ⚪️🛰.

The 98°-obliquity of Uranus is commonly attributed to giant impacts that occurred at the end of the planetary formation.
