Uranus, Voyager 2

We've been wrong about Uranus for nearly 40 years, new analysis of Voyager 2 data reveals
Voyager 2's 1986 flyby of Uranus, the main source of our knowledge of the icy planet, could have come at the same time as a weird plasma burst from the sun.
NASA’s decades-old findings of Uranus’ extreme magnetosphere was misleading: Study
the rest of Uranus’ magnetosphere was almost devoid of plasma. Scientists maintained that the missing plasma also puzzled them because they knew that the five major Uranian moons in the magnetic bubble should have produced water ions, as icy moons around ...
Uranus may have looked weird when NASA’s Voyager 2 flew by
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.
