Uranus: The Sideways Planet
Uranus: The Sideways Planet
Uranus was named after the earlisest god of the sky in Greek and Roman mythology. It is the seventh planet from the sun, only Neptune and Pluto are farther away. These last three planets are a great mystery and unfortunately, not too much is known about them because of the great distance that separates them from the earth. Uranus is known as the Sideways Planet because it is greatly inclined at its equator (see General Information), moreso than any other planet in the solar system.

Everything--
Little is known about the surface of Uranus though it is believed that the planet is surrounded by clouds. It's temperature is guessed to be about minus 357 degrees Farenheit. There are fifteen know satellites and Uranus also has at least eleven thin rings around it, but they are much fainter than Saturn's. They seem to be made of countless chunks of some unknown black substance. Most of the chunks are about one year in diameter. These rings are always parallel with Uranus' equator. Uranus was discovered in 1781 by Sir William Herschel, a British astronomer. By 1948 five small moons were detected orbitting Uranus. When the United States spacecraft Voyager 2 flew by the planet in 1986, ten other moons, smaller than the first five, were discovered.

EXCERPTS OF THE PAPER: Sunlight phenomenon being one of the most complex phenomena in science evaded from previous researchers. Understanding the phenomenon needed advanced knowledge in the fields of nuclear physics, X-ray physics, and atomic spectroscopy. A surprise finding, optical emission detected from Rb XRF source in 1988 led to the discovery of a previously unknown atomic phenomenon causing Bharat radiation emission followed by optical emission from radioisotopes and XRF sources reported in 2010 [10]. The same phenomenon was found causing the Sunlight. However, it took nearly 25 years of research to reach the current level of understanding the Sunlight phenomenon reported here.
BREAKTHROUGHS:
(1) On the basis of fusion, many solar lines could not be identified previously and what causes these lines remained puzzling. Though 11 solar lines could be identified by other researchers, they became questionable. The significant breakthrough has come when it became possible now to identify as many as 153 lines on the basis of uranium fission taking place on Sun’s core surface. Surprisingly, the fission products released in Chernobyl reactor accident in 1986 also seem to be present in solar flares.
(2) Explained what are Sun’s dark spots and their cause.
(3) For the first time, it is shown what constitutes Dark Matter and showed existence of Dark Matter in Sun.
(4) It is explained with unprecedented detail how Bharat Radiation from fission products (radioisotopes) causes Sunlight by an atomic phenomenon known as Padmanabha Rao Effect.
