Our understanding of Uranus has been fundamentally challenged, suggesting that the data collected during Voyager 2's flyby may not represent typical conditions on the planet.
We observed this empty magnetosphere, and its radiation belts were surprisingly intense, breaking current radiation belt theory, which raises new questions about Uranus.
The findings indicate that the conditions at Uranus observed by Voyager 2 occurred only four percent of the time, dramatically affecting our perspective of the planet.
This research was a big surprise to many experts, including Fran Bagenal, who expressed her astonishment at the new findings presented by Dr. Jasinski.
