Uranus, Voyager 2 and NASA

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 Voyager 2 data on Uranus moons may have been skewed by solar storm
Previously it was believed Uranus' moons were desolate, desert-like worlds, but now it seems that the data from the Voyager 2 probe.
Mining old data from NASA's Voyager 2 solves several Uranus mysteries
When NASA's 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. Alongside the discovery of new moons and rings,
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.
NASA’s 38-Year-Old Voyager 2 Data Finally Solves Uranus’s Perplexing Mysteries
NASA’s 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. In 1986, Voyager 2's flyby of Uranus caught the planet during a rare magnetic anomaly caused by unique space weather,
1986 NASA probe gave us the wrong impression of Uranus — until now
For 38 years, the secrets of Uranus have remained just out of humanity’s reach. Now, however, a deep dive into data from NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft may change what we thought we knew about this distant planet.
