A reassessment of data from NASA's Voyager 2 has revealed that Uranus' moon Miranda may contain a subsurface ocean, challenging assumptions about its potential for life.
A solar wind event days before the NASA probe flyby in 1986 may have compressed the planet’s magnetosphere, making it look odder than it usually is.
If Voyager 2 had arrived a week earlier, it would have observed a completely different magnetospheric environment".
Voyager 2 flew by Uranus in 1986, giving us our only up-close look at the planet – but unusual space weather just before the craft arrived has given us a misleading idea about the planet’s magnetic fi ...
