But when Voyager 2 got an up-close look at Uranus in 1986, scientists were able to glean some insights that, while ...
The Voyager 2 spacecraft’s energy budget keeps dropping by about 4 Watt/year, as the plutonium in its nuclear power source is steadily dropping as the isotope decays. With 4 Watt of power less ...
On this date, Jan. 24, 1986, Voyager 2 began beaming images from Uranus, giving scientists unprecedented data and insights about the solar system’s seventh planet. Information from the probe showed ...

Unfortunate timing The first panel of this artist's concept depicts how Uranus's magnetosphere – its protective bubble – was behaving before the 1986 flyby of NASA's Voyager 2. The second panel shows ...
Voyager 2 preceded it into space by 16 days, but Voyager 1 quickly overtook it on a faster trajectory, and arrived at Jupiter 4 months before its sister craft. Voyager 1 took this photo of Jupiter ...
