The Best in Science News and Amazing Breakthroughs
In data nearly 20 years old, scientists have finally confirmed the presence of infrared auroras, glowing in the northern regions of
"The temperature of all the gas giant planets, including Uranus, are hundreds of degrees Kelvin/Celsius above what models predict if only warmed by the Sun, leaving us with the big question of how these planets are so much hotter than expected?""One theory suggests the energetic aurora is the cause of this, which generates and pushes heat from the aurora down towards the magnetic equator.
in their data, they found that it increased in density, without altering the temperature of the planet's atmosphere. Since auroras are connected to both the atmosphere and the magnetic field of Uranus, the discovery adds some information that may help us better understand some of the planet's weirder mysteries. For example, its magnetic field isof Neptune- and Uranus-like worlds out there in the wider galaxy, and assess their suitability for life, Thomas says.
