Some give great importance to the number 84 in the philosophy of life according to the scriptures. There are millions of galaxies and billions of stars in the universe. One of the planets around the solar system is Uranus, the American space agency NASA has shared a picture of Uranus. This image was taken from the James Webb Space Telescope. Uranus is the 7th planet of the solar system orbiting the Sun. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft passed through Uranus Pass in 1986, the camera imaged Uranus as a blue-green round light, but no surrounding ring of light. According to NASA, the image taken by James Webb of Uranus using infrared wavelengths shows that the planet has bright rings around it.
A special feature of Uranus compared to other planets in the solar system is that it orbits at a 90 degree tilt on its axis. Hence any season on Uranus is extreme. Here in the polar region the sun is bright for years and then it is dark for as many years. This is why the south polar region of the planet is not visible in the picture due to its darkness. A day on Uranus is 17 hours and 14 minutes. It means that it completes its axis rotation in this time. A year on Uranus equals 84 years on Earth. That means it takes about 84 years for this planet to complete one round of the sun.
It is believed that Uranus has 13 rings around it. Information about these rings was found in 2007. A photograph taken by James Webb shows 11 rings. Some of the halos are so bright that they appear to be a larger halo. Scientists hope that two rings of this planet will also be seen in the future. Uranus is thought to have 27 moons. However, some of them are so small that they are not even visible. A thin layer of melted ice returns to the surface of Uranus. Water is composed of methane and ammonia. Both Uranus and Neptune also contain gas, as do Jupiter and Saturn. Hence they are also called gaseous planets.
