Uranus: The Tilted Planet

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Voyager 2 captured this image of Uranus in 1986, making it the only spacecraft to visit the planet. Uranus is the third largest planet, composed mostly of liquid water, methane, and ammonia, with an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. Its rotation axis is greatly tilted, making it appear to roll on its side as it orbits the Sun. Voyager 2 revealed Uranus's ring system and many moons.
