The GAVRT Uranus Campaign Why get excited about Uranus? It’s changing in unexpected ways! What do the radio data tell us? The temperature and composition of the atmosphere. Looking at one time tells us the weather. Looking over many years tells us about the seasons. Things to remember about Uranus: It’s tilted on its side. Seasons change (but each one lasts 21 years!). We see different parts of the planet over time.
