Uranus (2.6 m (8 ft 6 in) in diameter) was vandalized and the new model was reconstructed behind Stora magasinet in Lövstabruk in 2012. It is an outdoor model made of blue steel bars. The rotation axis of the planet is marked in red. [8] 2.5-m representation of Neptune, by the river Söderhamnsån in Söderhamn
One spacecraft, Voyager 2, also visited Uranus and Neptune. The nine missions include two, Ulysses and New Horizons, whose primary objectives were not outer planets, but which flew past Jupiter to gain gravity assists en route to a polar orbit around the Sun (Ulysses), and to Pluto (New Horizons).

An alignment of six planets will dazzle in January 2025. Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will align in the night sky. "The whole month of January is a great time to see the ...
The timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their natural satellites charts the progress of the discovery of new bodies over history. Each object is listed in chronological order of its discovery (multiple dates occur when the moments of imaging, observation, and publication differ), identified through its various designations (including temporary and permanent schemes), and the ...
The original core of the Nice model is a triplet of papers published in the general science journal Nature in 2005 by an international collaboration of scientists. [4] [5] [6] In these publications, the four authors proposed that after the dissipation of the gas and dust of the primordial Solar System disk, the four giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) were originally found on ...
(55637) 2002 UX 25 (provisional designation 2002 UX 25) is a trans-Neptunian object that orbits the Sun in the Kuiper belt beyond Neptune.It briefly garnered scientific attention when it was found to have an unexpectedly low density of about 0.82 g/cm 3. [12]
The new figure disproved the hypothesis that an undiscovered Planet X acted upon the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. [9] [10] Neptune's magnetic field was found to be highly tilted and largely offset from the planet's centre. The probe discovered auroras much weaker than those on Earth or other planets. The radio instruments on board found that ...
