Voyager 2 Data Unveils New Insights and Anomalies on Uranus
TL;DR Summary
New research suggests that the moons of Uranus, previously thought to be inactive and sterile, may have subsurface oceans capable of supporting life. This revelation comes from a reanalysis of data from NASA's Voyager 2, which visited Uranus during a solar storm that distorted its magnetic field, leading to misleading conclusions. The findings have prompted NASA to plan a new mission, the Uranus Orbiter and Probe, to further investigate these moons, potentially arriving by 2045.
