Uranus rotates on its side. Every other planet in the solar system has a more or less vertical rotational axis — Uranus is tilted almost 98 degrees, as if it were rolling along its own orbit. It's the planet of anomaly, of the unpredictable, of what breaks the rules of the system. In astrological tradition it's the planet of revolutions, of radical originality, of the flash of insight that changes everything. Hans Cousto translated its 84-year orbital cycle into frequency: 103.68 Hz, note G#2. A bright, alive sound, with something electric inside it. Hard to ignore. Hard to forget.

The sound of Uranus — the planet that rotates on its side
Uranus orbits the Sun in 84 Earth years with a rotational axis tilted nearly 98 degrees — a unique trait in the solar system that makes it physically anomalous compared to every other planet. Hans Cousto derived its frequency: 103.68 Hz — note G#2. The sound reflects this unexpected nature — bright, with lively harmonics and a quality that never quite settles, always slightly in motion. The planet of originality, translated into vibration.
- ✦ Frequency 103.68 Hz — note G#2, calculated by Hans Cousto from Uranus's 84-year orbit
- ✦ The planet tilted 98 degrees — the only body in the solar system that rotates on its side, a symbol of originality and breaking the mold
- ✦ Bright, lively timbre — luminous harmonics, an electric quality, a sound that keeps moving and never fully settles
- ✦ 24" diameter — compact and versatile, blends perfectly with Neptune and the Moons of the same diameter family
