A new study of the international group of astronomers has proven that Uranus releases more heat than received from the sun.
Uranus has its own internal heat – it is stated by an international team of astronomers based on new research. It was reported in a press release from the University of Houston.
As it turned out, the giant ice released about 12.5% more heat than received from the sun. This discovery helps to solve a long -restronomical riddle, because in 1986, the investigation of NASA Voyager 2 did not testify to the presence of such heat.
Success has been possible thanks to decades of observations, data analysis from various devices and modeling using computer technology. Scientists suggest that such heat transfer is associated with the properties of the internal structure or the unique history of uranium evolution.
Compared to other giant gases of the solar system – Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune, which releases up to 100% more heat – Uranus remains “cooler”, but the reality of having an internal source of energy is of importance.
Another interesting -friendly fact is changing the thermal balance of uranium depending on the periods of 20 years.
“From a scientific outlook, this study helps us to better understand Uranus and other giant planets. For future space research, I think it promotes arguments in favor of the mission for Uranus,” emphasized by the Nied Van from the University of Houston.
Earlier it was reported that NASA shared the new pictures of the NGC 6334 nebula, better known as “Cat Paw”, which made the James Webba space telescope.
