Uranus, the ice giant, may have been misunderstood for nearly 40 years
Uranus's unique magnetosphere may be a result of conditions during the 1986 Voyager 2 flyby, potentially skewing our understanding of the planet.
Opinion: Uranus was having a bad hair day. Hey, it was the '80s!
Uranus's magnetosphere during Voyager 2's flyby was affected by rare solar wind conditions, leading to different observations than if the flyby had occurred earlier.
Wind Blowing Out of Uranus Makes It Hard to Probe, NASA Complains
The understanding of Uranus may need revision due to a rare wind event during Voyager 2's 1986 flyby, which altered its magnetosphere.

Vega-C to launch Europe and China's first joint space mission
Smile mission, a joint project between ESA and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to explore solar wind and northern lights from a unique vantage point.
The magnetic shield that protects Earth and makes life possible
Earth's magnetic field deflects solar particles, protecting the atmosphere and enabling life on Earth.
The geodynamo powered by Earth's core creates a protective shield known as the magnetosphere, guarding against solar wind and enabling existence of life on the planet.

MAVEN saw what happens to Mars when there's no solar wind
NASA's MAVEN mission observed a dramatic drop in solar wind on Mars, leading to expansion of the Martian atmosphere and magnetosphere.
The drop in solar wind caused significant changes in Mars' magnetosphere and ionosphere, with the size of the magnetosphere and ionosphere more than tripling.

Gigantic oddball aurora seen from Earth for the first time
A rare 'polar rain aurora' phenomenon was observed in December 2022 when solar wind decreased, allowing electrons from the Sun's corona to create a distinctive glow across the North Pole.
