The planet Uranus is often seen as crisply beautiful - but sterile and icy with it. Now though, scientists are wondering whether Uranus has been undersold. New analysis has been published in Nature Astronomy, and it suggests that our existing view may have come from a misunderstood flyby from a probe almost forty years ago. And that it could be capable of supporting life. Dr William Dunn is with the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London, and co-authored the study.
