"If Voyager 2 had arrived just a few days earlier, it would have observed a completely different magnetosphere at Uranus," said Jamie Jasinski of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern ...
But the spacecraft’s observations of Uranus’ magnetosphere were wildly different from astronomers’ expectations, and scientists deemed the planet an outlier among the other large planets in ...
A small team of astrophysicists at the University of California, Los Angeles, working with colleagues from the University of Texas at Dallas and the University of Colorado, Boulder, has found ...
Voyager 2's data on the magnetosphere surrounding Uranus has for decades left scientists perplexed. As a result, Uranus earned a decades-long reputation as an outlier in our solar system.
When Voyager 2 flew past the ice giant 38 years ago, it revealed a magnetosphere warped by solar winds, a finding uncovered through recent analysis of archival data.
