In 1986, the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew past the planet, recording mysteries of its magnetic field. Turns out, Uranus may have just been in an unusual state. A solar wind event days before the flyby compressed the giant planet's magnetosphere, researchers report November 11 in Nature Astronomy. That compression could explain several long-standing puzzles about Uranus and its moons, and could inform planning for future missions.
