URANUS: The Sideways World

Uranus is the solar system’s greatest mystery. It is a world that was physically knocked over by a massive collision, leaving it to roll around the Sun on its side. It is a place where it rains diamonds and where a single "season" lasts for 42 years.

Welcome to The Autodidact Lab. In the eighth episode of "THE END OF THE SKY," we investigate Uranus. We explore the "Giant Impact" that permanently tilted the planet, explain the pressurized chemistry that creates "Diamond Rain" in the deep atmosphere, and look forward to the distant future where Uranus becomes a frozen, dark tomb orbiting a dead Sun. This is the biography of the tilted ice giant: Past, Present, and Future.
