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 ...

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

A solar wind event squashed the protective bubble around Uranus just before Voyager 2 flew by the planet in 1986, shifting ...

A rare solar wind event was taking place when NASA’s Voyager 2 zipped by in 1986, a study suggests, which affected what we ...

"The Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 revealed an unusually oblique and off-centred magnetic field," the researchers wrote.

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.

New analysis of Voyager 2 data suggests that a solar storm may have skewed our understanding of Uranus and its moons.

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.

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.
