Voyager 2's Historic Flyby of Uranus Exposes Rare Magnetic Distortion
A new analysis of Voyager 2’s flyby of Uranus in 1986 reveals a unique magnetic anomaly caused by a rare solar wind event. Scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech found that the solar wind’s impact on Uranus’s magnetosphere was a unique occurrence, influencing measurements of the planet’s magnetic field. The study also ...

NASA's Voyager 2 Finds Clues of Ancient Ocean on Uranus' Moon Miranda
Recent analysis of images captured by NASA's Voyager 2 has suggested that Miranda, a moon orbiting Uranus, may have once contained a significant ocean beneath its icy exterior. Research led by Tom Nordheim at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory reveals that this ocean could have existed hundreds of millions of years ago, driven by tidal forces...

James Webb Space Telescope Detects Possible Liquid Ocean on Uranus Moon Ariel
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered intriguing evidence suggesting that Ariel, one of Uranus’s moons, may harbour an underground liquid ocean. This discovery, part of the "Moons of Uranus" project, involved 21 hours of observations focused on detecting water, ammonia, organic molecules, and carbon dioxide ice.

Scientists Find Out Why Jupiter Doesn't Have Glorious Rings Like Saturn
Scientists have uncovered why Jupiter does not have rings like its neighbouring planet Saturn. Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, ran a computer simulation of both Jupiter's orbits and the four main moons that surrounded it to understand why the giant gaseous planet is missing the hoops.

NASA Voyager 1's Probe Is the Closest Humanity Can Get to Immortality, Claims Expert
James Edward Huchingson, Professor emeritus and lecturer of Religion and Science at Florida International University, has published a piece to throw light on what the Voyager Probes could teach about humanity and legacy. The Golden Records have messages packed in a bottle, which include spoken greetings in 55 languages, sounds, and images from natu...
