Uranus in 3D: live position and orbit

The ice giant tipped on its side, with an axis leaning at 98°, so it rolls along its orbit. Each season lasts 21 years.

Uranus is shown at its real position, computed from NASA/JPL ephemeris data. The view opens on Uranus; you can travel in time, switch between the educational overview and the true-scale voyage, and compare it with every other body of the solar system.
