Uranus, Voyager 2
Voyager 2 is the only craft to visit Uranus. Its findings may have misled us for 40 years.
But when Voyager 2 got an up-close look at Uranus in 1986, scientists were able to glean some insights that, while confounding, at least shed some light on a crucial characteristic that seemed to set the planet apart from other giants like Jupiter.
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 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.
