Exploring Uranus
Channel: Astro Biological
Date: 2017-07-12

Hi all. It's been a while since my last "full length" video, so I thought I'd get back into it with an overview of Uranus, a mysterious and violent world. What lies beneath those serene cloud tops? Some of the most extreme weather in the solar system, that's what? What waits for future explorers? Why does Uranus "roll" around the sun? How long does winter last on Uranus? Find out all this and more!
