Uranus
An ice giant, in X-rays
- Distance
- From Earth: 1.8 billion miles, on average
- Telescopes
- Chandra, Keck
Uranus is faint in X-rays — a scatter of sunlight off an ice giant, plus perhaps a little of its own. Chandra still hears it.
What you’re hearing
X-ray and optical. Because the planet is small on the sky, the phrase is short and concentrated.
