DashThe planet Uranus and its five largest moon cannot be the dead sterile world that scientists have long thought.
Instead, they may have an ocean, and the moon may also be able to support life, scientists say.
Whatever we know about him, it was collected by NASA’s Vyzer 2 spacecraft, which was visited about 40 years ago.
But a new analysis suggests that the air trip took place with a powerful solar storm, causing a misleading idea of what the Uranian system really likes.
Uranus is a beautiful, icy ring world in the outer reach of our solar system. It is the coldest among all planets. It is also tilted on its behalf compared to all other worlds – as it was knocked out – it was certainly made the most strange.
We got our first close-up look on it in 1986, when Vijer 2 flew in the past and sent sensational photos of the planet and its five major moon.
But scientists sent back even more surprised data Woyzer 2, indicating that the Uranian system was also strange to their views.
Measurement from the equipment of spacecraft indicated that the planets and the moon were inactive, unlike other moon in the outer solar system. He also showed that the protective magnetic field of Uranus was strangely distorted. It was squashing and pushed away from the sun.
The magnetic field of a planet implicates any gas and other materials coming from the planet and its moons. These can occur from oceans or geological activity. No one was found by Vyzer 2, suggesting that Uranus and its five largest moon were sterile and passive.
It came as a very surprise as it was contrary to other planets of the solar system and their moon.

New research suggests that as soon as Vyzer 2 blows the previous Uranus, the sun was furious, making a powerful solar air that may have blown the material and temporarily distorted the magnetic field.
Therefore, for 40 years we have a wrong approach that Dr. Dr. of University College London. According to William Dun, Uranus and its five largest moon are generally liked.
“These results suggest that the Uranian system can be much more exciting than earlier ideas. There may be the necessary conditions for life that the moon may be, they may have oceans below the surface that can be temperatures with fish! ,
NASALinda Spilker was a young scientist when Uranus data came when she is still serving as a project scientist for the Vyzer Mission. He said that he was happy to hear about new results, which are Published in Nature Astronomy Journal.
“The results are attractive, and I am really excited to see that there is a possibility of life in the Uranian system,” he told BBC News.
“I am also very happy that so much is being done with Vyzer data. It is surprising that scientists are looking at the data collected in 1986 and looking for new results and new discoveries ”.
Dr. of Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Aphlia Vibiso, who is independent of the research team, described the results as “very exciting”.
“It shows how important it is to see old data back, because sometimes, hiding behind them is to be discovered, which can help us design the next generation space exploration mission”.
Which NASA is doing exactly, partially as a result of new research.
Woyzer 2 last flying from the icy world and its moon. NASA plans to start a new mission, Uranus orbiter and investigation to close closely in 10 years time.
NASADr. of NASA According to Jamie Jasinsky, whose idea was to re -examine the Vyzer 2 data, the mission will need to take into account their results when designing its equipment and planning a scientific survey.
“There are some more equipment for future spacecraft, which we have learned from Vyzer 2, when it was experiencing an unusual phenomenon, when it flew from the system. So we need to reconsider how we are going to design equipment on the new mission so that we can catch the science that is necessary to make us discoveries ”.
NASA’s Uranus investigation is expected to come up to 2045, when scientists are expected to find out if this icy moon from far and wide, once thought as a dead world, may be likely to be home for life.
