27 lip 2018 · In these visualizations, we present simplified models of these planetary magnetospheres, designed to illustrate their scale, and basic features of their structure and impacts of the magnetic axes offset from the planetary rotation axes.
The data it sent back to us showed that Uranus has a very unusual magnetosphere, which indicated that Uranus has a very large obliquity, which means its rotational axis is about 97.9° away from the north direction, with a relative rapid (17.24 hours) daily rotation.
5 maj 2009 · The magnetic poles of Uranus are not at all close to the geographic poles of Uranus. The main magnetic field of Uranus is tilted 59° away from the planet's spin axis. Earth's magnetic field is tilted, too... but only by 11°. The magnetic field of Uranus is shifted, too.
1 lip 2014 · To explain the 2011 HST observations of Uranus' aurora, Cowley proposed a conceptual picture of open magnetic flux tube evolution in Uranus's magnetosphere under near-equinox conditions. We can test the magnetopause reconnection aspects of this concept with our model.

Magnetic field. The magnetic dipole moment of Uranus is tilted at an angle of 59° to the spin axis of the planet. The extrapolated near-equatorial surface field is 23 μT, corresponding to a magnetic moment (equatorial surface field times radius cubed) of 3.9 × 10 17 T m 3, close to 50 times greater than the terrestrial magnetic moment. The ...
The adjacent animation shows the orientation of Uranus' magnetic field with respect to the rotation axis, the displacement of the dipole from the center, and the complex motion of the magnetic field as the planet rotates.
