Voyager 2 revealed that Uranus has unique properties compared to other planets in the solar system, particularly in terms of its magnetosphere, which has been shown to lack plasma.
NASA is preparing for a new mission to Uranus, which is expected to be launched in the next ten years, until 2032
Recent data from the Voyager 2 spacecraft shows that we understand it Uranus it may have been wrong for nearly four decades. In January 1986, the probe NASA made a flyby of the planet, the only space mission to visit it. During this passage, Voyager 2 revealed that Uranus has unique properties compared to other planets in the solar system, especially regarding its magnetosphere, which lacked plasma. A study published in the journal Nature Astronomy suggests that Voyager 2’s passage occurred during a period of intense solar activity, which may have affected Uranus’ magnetosphere.

This particular condition was observed only 4% of the time studied, resulting in a solar wind pressure of up to 20 times, which helps to explain the low plasma density found and the strength of the belts radiation. NASA is preparing for a new mission to Uranus, which is expected to be launched in the next ten years, until 2032. This new journey will include a probe dedicated to studying the atmosphere of the planet . Scientists are excited about the opportunity to deepen knowledge about Uranus and Neptune, planets that are crucial to understanding exoplanets that have similar properties.
