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.

Today the #Moon 🌒 is in air sign #Gemini ♊,

a good time to clarify your thinking 🧐

and ask deeper questions. 🤔

With #Uranus in its final weeks

in Taurus, disruption to norms 🌩️

means stability is uncertain. 😬

However, energy will begin

to move forward so 🏃🏽‍➡️

remember your bigger purpose! 💖

An #Uranus und #Jupiter vorbei - sagt die ISS Detector-App.

Tonight 3/18, just one day past the equilux — when day and night hold equal measure, the Westport Observatory opens at 8:00 PM for a final look at the winter sky.
With a new moon conditions are ideal for exploring distant galaxies, star clusters, and nebulae, along with planets Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus. Dress warmly for outdoor viewing. https://was-ct.org/programs/public-viewing/

On this day in world history (March 13), several important events occurred, including the discovery of the planet Uranus by William Herschel in 1781.

British-German astronomer #WilliamHerschel discovered the seventh planet, #Uranus, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1781. A unique world that spins on its side with a 98-degree axial tilt, its pale cyan colour comes from a frigid atmosphere made up mainly of hydrogen, helium, & methane.
