Voyager 2 visited Uranus in 1986 Much of our understanding of Uranus comes from Voyager 2's flyby, which to date remains the only time a spacecraft has visited the planet.

Voyager 2’s data showed that Uranus’ magnetosphere was home to unexpectedly powerful electron radiation belts. Their intensity was similar to the massive bands of radiation found around Jupiter.

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.

Scientists looking at Voyager 2 data from its flyby of Uranus 34 years ago just made the discovery. The discovery was made by scientists 34 years after the space probe passed the icy giant.

Unfortunate timing The first panel of this artist's concept depicts how Uranus's magnetosphere – its protective bubble – was behaving before the 1986 flyby of NASA's Voyager 2. The second panel shows ...

Voyager 2's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years, according to a new study.
