The length of a day on Uranus has increased: Recent discoveries from the Hubble Telescope.
Reading
Scientists looked at Uranus. They found out its day is a bit longer. It takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds to spin around.
This new time is 28 seconds longer. It is longer than what NASA's Voyager 2 said. A team from France studied Uranus's lights for ten years.
They watched the planet's magnetic poles. This helped them find a better spin time. Uranus is far from the sun; it takes 84 Earth years to go around it.
The Hubble telescope was very important. It helped them watch Uranus carefully. The team said this new way can find the spin of other planets.
The findings were published in a journal. This was before Hubble's 35th birthday. Hubble was launched into space in 1990.
