Mining Old Data From NASA’s Voyager 2 Solves Several Uranus Mysteries
NASAs Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus decades ago shaped scientists understanding of the planet but also introduced unexplained oddities. A recent data dive has offered answers. When NASAs Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus in 1986, it provided scientists first and, so far, only close glimpse of this strange, sideways-rotating outer planet.
