A day on Uranus just got a little longer.

Observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full rotation. That’s 28 seconds longer than estimates last done in the 1980’s.

A decade’s worth of observations by a French-led team tracked its magnetic poles providing a more precise rotation period for Uranus. From that distance, it takes about 84 Earth years for Uranus to orbit the sun. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun.

Scientists reported Monday that observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full rotation. That’s 28 seconds longer than estimates by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft in the 1980s. https://t.co/1aWhTYdAgE
