Uranus is belching X-rays and is weirder than we ever thought – Space.com
The more scientists study it, the weirder Uranus
gets.
The newest mystery to add to the planet’s repertoire? Astronomers have detected X-rays from the strange world and while some of the signal may be reflected emissions from the sun, some appear to be coming from the planet itself, according to a NASA statement
.
That’s according to new research that analyzed observations of Uranus gathered by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory
in 2002 and 2017.
