James Webb Space Telescope captures strange magnetic forces warping Uranus

For the first time, astronomers have charted the vertical structure of Uranus's upper atmosphere, revealing how temperature and electrically charged particles change with altitude across the planet. An international research team used the James Webb Space Telescope and its NIRSpec instrument to monitor Uranus for nearly one full rotation. By capturing faint molecular emissions high above the cloud tops, the scientists gained new insight into how ice giant planets move and manage en...
