The icy planets of our galaxy have been explained by a space probe to Uranus

As part of some cosmic collision from eons ago, Uranus spins on its side, which has become the hotspot for many astronomers and enthusiasts alike.

There are 14 seasons on Uranus and one of the poles of Uranus experiences decades of daylight and decades of darkness. If you were born at sunset on Uranus then you would have to wait about four decades to see the sunrise in spring if you were born during sunset.

There is very little information on Uranus. In 1986, a robot probe swept past the planet revealing it to be a giant blue world. Subsequently, the US National Academy of Science suggested that NASA launch a Uranus probe in the next decade.

The mission to the planet was never completed and scientists have found evidence that similar planets exist in other distant worlds, suggesting that there are more ice giant planets in our galaxy than we ever imagined. 

Despite this, we remain unsure of the origins of these icy worlds such as Uranus and Neptune in our solar system even though we currently know a lot about their passage.

It is possible to learn the secrets of the universe by understanding the most common type of planet in our galaxy - ice giants! But studying these planets isn't a cakewalk, as Uranus orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.8 billion kilometers, and Neptune orbits the Sun at a distance of 4.5 billion kilometers.

Using Jupiter's gravity assist, scientists hope to accelerate the spacecraft's journey to Uranus by inducing a close encounter with Jupiter, which would give it an edge over other spacecraft. 

However, even then, if it is necessary to make use of Jupiter's gravity assist potential, a mission may not be launched until after 2031 if a mission is to be launched.

A probe would answer questions about the ice giants in our solar system, such as why Uranus has such a cold climate, and why it rotates sideways.

In 1780, William Herschel discovered Uranus in the night sky by focusing on a faint object near a star. Since then, scientists have struggled to understand the coldest planet in the solar system.
