Uranus: The Ice Giant That Breaks Every Rule In Our Solar System

There is one planet in our solar system that simply refuses to play by the rules. It does not spin upright like the others. It lies completely on its side, rolling around the sun with seasons that last decades, where one pole can sit in darkness for forty two years while the other bakes in endless light. It is the coldest world we know, colder even than the planets that lie far beyond it, and deep inside it, scientists believe, it may quietly rain diamonds. Yet for all its strangeness, we have visited it only once, for a few short hours, almost forty years ago, and never returned. This is the story of Uranus, the ice giant that broke nearly every rule the rest of the solar system follows, and the mysteries it is still hiding in the cold and the dark.
