The roughly six-hour flyby in 1986 revealed Uranus' protective magnetic field was strangely empty. Now, researchers say that ...

But when Voyager 2 got an up-close look at Uranus in 1986, scientists were able to glean some insights that, while ...

Much of what we understand about Uranus comes from data gathered by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft. Thirty-eight years ago, this ...

When NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus in 1986, it provided scientists' first—and, so far, only—close glimpse of ...

New research suggests that just before Voyager 2 arrived, Uranus was hit by a rare blast of solar wind from the Sun that ...

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 ...

For decades, the observation has been an enigma. But not anymore. Recent analysis of Voyager's old data found that extreme ...

The Voyager 2 mission, which provided humanity's first and only close-up view of Uranus, revealed a planet with unexpectedly ...

When Voyager 2 flew past the ice giant 38 years ago, it revealed a magnetosphere warped by solar winds, a finding uncovered through recent analysis of archival data.

Almost 40 years ago, Voyager 2 passed Uranus. Since then, people have been puzzling over the measurement data collected there ...

Much of the understanding of the seventh planet comes from a brief flyby nearly 40 years ago, which researchers now say overlapped with an exceptional solar event.

A solar wind event days before the NASA probe flyby in 1986 may have compressed the planet’s magnetosphere, making it look odder than it usually is.
