Uranus, Voyager 2
Long ago, Voyager 2 might have caught Uranus at a bad time
Much of what we understand about Uranus comes from data gathered by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft. Thirty-eight years ago, this probe flew by the ice giant, providing humanity with its first close-up glimpse of the seventh planet from the sun.
Voyager 2 is the only craft to visit Uranus. Its findings may have misled us for 40 years.
Voyager 2's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years, according to a new study.
Voyager found a mystery on Uranus. Decades later, NASA solved it.
For decades, the observation has been an enigma. But not anymore. Recent analysis of Voyager's old data found that extreme solar wind — a flow of particles shooting out from the sun — impacted the environs around Uranus and created the abnormal episode.
