•Something Strange Happened During Voyager 2's Flyby of Uranus in 1986
82% Informative
A new study suggests Voyager 2 flew past Uranus at an unusual moment when the planet’s magnetosphere was warped by particles from the Sun .
The rare compression of the magnetosphere only occurs 4% of the time around Uranus .
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune .
In 2022 , a report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering , and Medicine called for a Uranus orbiter.
The report also concluded that Uranus ’ outermost moons, Titania and Oberon , orbit inside the planet’s magnetosphere.
That would make it much easier for a spacecraft to determine the presence of a subsurface ocean.
