    The article is confusingly worded but the new finding is that Uranus DOES emit more heat than it absorbs from the Sun (unlike previous measurements suggested), but still emits less excess heat than the other gas giants - it’s both “hotter than it should be” yet “cooler than expected” compared to similar planets.
