Well, Jupiter and Saturn teach us important things, jupiter is nearby and basically taught us a lot about how gas giants worked, Saturn taught us the same but about rings, and both saturn and jupiter have moons that are possibly able to sustain life. Saturn’s moon titan has liquid methane on the surface and it’s not as cold as you’d expect. Some of the Jupiter Galilean moons are suspected to have water oceans underneath their crust, especially Europa. Those are important things, sure Uranus and Neptune could teach us a lot, but with modern day technology, it could even take lifetimes (in some cases), so the people who launched it wouldn’t even see it go halfway there. And we do also know a decent amount about the ice giants. I still think we should explore them even if they aren’t going to be very influential, however the space agencies of the world agree that it’s not worth the time and money.

Before Cassini we only had brief fly-bys of Saturn and it's moons and it wasn't until the dedicated Cassini mission that we discovered Enceladus' water geysers, prior to that dedicated mission Enceladus was just another ordinary moon. Same can be said for Jupiter's moon Europa. For all we know Titania, Oberon, etc., could be just as supporting of life and data but we only have very fuzzy images of them and nothing more, fuzzy images such as we had when we first visited Jupiter. Who knows what teachings lay within these two ice giants and their moons.

@@JTelli786 The moons were just another reason why they are fascinating and why they were studied first, besides people have briefly studied ice giant moons and it’s way to cold with no source of warmth (not a guarantee but a pretty good chance there’s no liquid water). Regardless, the closest gas giants are easier to get to as opposed to a medium sized ice giant lifetimes away. And they still taught us about how gas giants and the outer solar system planets operate. I still agree that the ice giants should be explored, but at this moment in time, no space exploration programs it’s worthwhile.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if Uranus constantly gets shunted to the back of NASA’s cue because no one wants to be, “that guy,” who becomes a meme for talking to the press about, “the rings around Uranus,” and, “eventually, we hope to probe Uranus,” etc? No one can think of a form of words that doesn’t make the world guffaw and snigger, to talk like grown ups about a fascinating subject. “If an Earth sized object slammed into Uranus it would have enough momentum to tip you on your side.” I should jolly well think so too! The scientists at NASA probably spend half of their time doing important science and the other half playing office politics just to ensure they’re not the ones who get assigned to work on any Uranus projects! It’s probably used as a form of punishment? With the worst offenders being chosen to speak to the press about, “the latest developments around Uranus!” It brings out the little schoolboy in me every time! 😂 . . .

If you spin any rotating sphere EXACTLY 180deg it effectively spins in the opposite direction. Uranus is EXACTLY 90deg. What’s more probable? That the planets were hit by other massive objects or that it’s a manifestation of a dzhanibekov effect..?

Amazing! Thank you, BBC! 💙

“Poor Uranus” is how a video should start. I’m here for it.

Here's a question I have never heard answered. What stopped Uranus' roll? So, a collision likely knocked it on its side, but...why did it stop? It's not flat on the bottom, there's no invisible table underneath it for it to thump on and stop, no friction, no anything to keep that new motion from continuing to keep Uranus flipping end over end. And isn't momentum conserved? If something _did_ stop it, where did that enormous energy go? Enough energy to knock a planet of that size and mass over on its side is mindboggling. Seems like there's some serious questions a single impact doesn't really cover. Was it torque from Uranus' original rotation that stopped it? That's still a lot of energy unaccounted for, it would seem.

If I may try to give an answer. In a word, gravity. Unless hit with an object big enough or hard enough at the right angle to dislodge it an orbital object will stay on the same path more or less. The only effect of the hit was the wild tilt of its axis and it's rotation. Like a gyroscope the hit only made it swing to its sides but not enough to release it from the sun's gravity. The only effect is the tilt. We're still seeing the effects of that hit and it'll keep going long after we're gone.

Mars has the 2 moons despite its small size. Earth of course has life. Venus has the reversed rotation and the days longer than years. What does Mercury have? It's small and close to the Sun. And even though its the closest planet to the Sun, it's not even the hottest. That goes to Venus. I'd argue Uranus is top 3 in the interesting category (excluding the Earth in the rankings of course)

With Uranus tipped on its side and Venus revolving in the opposite direction to the other Planets, is it a possibility that Venus was originally not part of the forming Solar System, but a wanderer which collided with Uranus on its way in towards the Sun, passing close, so it was eventually captured by the gravity, ending up in its present orbit?

Let's discuss the moons of Uranus. Hemroydus, Proctos and Sphinctos. I would think that if something orbited Uranus closely enough, it would eventually be captured and drawn into Uranus. Butt, being a gas giant, Uranus would eventually eject the solid matter along with a giant gas cloud. This solid matter could vary considerably in consistency from watery and gooey, to rock hard. This is how Hemroydus was formed. Hemroydus is also known as "The blood moon." Taken from the Scientific Journal article titled, The Anals of Colonoscopic Origins.

Quinto is Spock. Your comment is illogical.

I've visited the home of the man who found Uranus - Sir William Herschel. He came to England from Bavaria, looking to establish his career in London as a composer, but moved to Bath when he found London too busy. He and his wife discovered Uranus from their garden, and then later they went on to become astronomers, only continuing their music careers to subsidise their astronomy works. Uranus is an outlier amongst the worlds in our solar system, because where other planets are named after Roman Gods or characters, Uranus uses the Greek name, rather than the Roman "Ouranos", and the moons are named after characters from Shakespeare.

One of my favourite facts is that Uranus, which is almost 3 billion kilometers away from Earth, was observed by human (in 1781) almost 40 years before Antarctica was (1820)...

If scientists claim Uranus was knocked to its sides, wouldn't the giant gas planet keep on spinning from that impact since there is no gravity or friction to perfectly halt the rotation 90° and 'park' it in its current position?

What do you mean by spinning? It's still spinning around the sun and around its axis. The only effect the hit had was the wild tilt like a gyroscope trying to stabilize and different rotation.

@@carlojg8541 Uranus is orbiting around the sun due to the latter's gravitational pull. But if Uranus was hit by another object, it would then 'spin' endlessly in another direction (there's no friction in space/vacuum environment). Right now, it feels as if Uranus got hit 90°off and an invisible hand held its position nicely, stopping it from that continuous spin

@@chuatekyan The planet was probably rotating very quickly on its axis (it now has a day of just over 17 hours) when the collision occurred, so this axial rotation would stabilise the inclination due to the high amount of angular momentum.

It isn't on its side, it just prefers rolling to spinning! It would be funny if all the planets rolled, and then they discovered just one that spun instead. We'd be saying: "Wow, it must be weird on that planet, the sun would appear to come up from behind the horizon, cross the sky and disappear again hundreds of times each year, instead of spiraling round and round the zenith for half the year and then disappearing for the other half, like on a normal planet ! "

My Doctor's been asking me this for years

This planet desperately needs a dedicated mission. A flyby with Voyager II’s primitive technology was never going to unlock its secrets. The recent photographs of a gigantic cloud mushroom at the near pole have already dispelled the idea of dead, sluggish Uranus. What other wonders are waiting?

Oh jeh, such things happen. I feel with you Uranus. Don't give up!

How does the impact explain the rings being tilted too? They came after? Might be an interesting place to sample.

So do the rings always face the sun, or do they rotate as seen from sun? Is Uranus gravitationally bound to sun like Earth-Moon?

@tonywells6990

No, Uranus and its rings north-south axis points in the same direction as it orbits the Sun, so we would see a different aspect of it over its 84 year orbit. At the moment it is almost face on, but in 40 years or so it will look almost edge on. It is too far away to be tidally locked.

Impact during planetary formation. Uranus has been on its side since the beginning of its life.

Non-Conformity sure bothers a lot of folks these days. Give Uranus a few billion years and it may 'right' itself and fall into line with the rest of the planets in the solar orbital plane. Somehow I suspect its internal mass is either affected by an uneven distribution, it may be less than solid and shifting or something caused it to tilt gravitationally. There are numerous possibilities, in the meantime I'm reading the funnier replies :O)

@adarsh4764

Yes because I heard its center of gravity or something doesn't pass through its middle but rather is deviated to out of the center, which means its not in an equilibrium state. Hence making it wobbly.

I came for Haruka Tenoh @ Sailor Uranus.... WORLDDDDDDDD SHAKING!

Since there's no up and down in space this is really a matter of perspective. For someone living on Uranus Earth would also appear to be on it's side.

My question is why it tilted and stopped where it is. Newton’s second law tells us that it should just keep spinning forever. Unless it IS actually still tilting on a very small scale?
