NASA Discovers Gas Emanating From Uranus

CBS Detroit – From decades-old data from the Voyager 2 Space probe that went out and explored the outer reaches of our solar system, NASA researchers have come across a new finding from the probe’s Jan 24, 1986 fly-by of Uranus.

As Voyager 2 flew by at 50,600 miles from the icy-blue planet, it found cloud tops, two new rings, 11 new moons and temperatures below minus 353 degrees Fahrenheit. What they didn’t know, Voyager 2 flew through a plasmoid. A giant magnetic bubble that was putting Uranus’ atmosphere into space.

These findings in Geophysical Research Letters, raise new questions on Uranus’ odd-ball magnetic fields. This, however, is nothing new when you look at it from a cosmic perspective. Venus leaks it hydrogen into the solar wind, and Jupiter and Saturn send out massive amounts of their electrically-charged air.

1. Heh.

2. They found out.

4. And you're in self isolation! That's some telescope!

3. Sorry. n/t

5. I'd read this last night

But seeing your post made me chuckle, thinking it was satire that NASA had found a way to measure fecal fumes emanating from agent orange's disgusting mouth.

Thank you for the chuckle!

6. I didn't need NASA or a probe to discover that. n/t

7. It's gotten to the point

that a planet can’t sneak a little gas without everyone hearing about it.

38. Sorry, in space

No one can hear you fart.

8. Did they hand that to a new hire to read on the air? NT

12. There was a better headline but I wanted a better source

Uranus has started leaking gas, NASA scientists confirm

9. The responses to your post are surprising

I thought DUer were more elegant and mature.

My bad.

14. Oh, please.

39. It's like what

I tell my lady when she tut-tuts me for being so juvenile: "Inside every grown man is a 15 year old boy, when the boy dies, the man is dead."

Corrected the typo...

11. Please tell me the leaking gas is methane

That detail alone would make this the best science story ever.

[Loki Liesmith]

32. Uranus is significantly methane so...

34. You have made my day!

[Loki Liesmith]

35. I should clarify

The upper atmosphere has a little methane. But much more hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide. Which is what gives farts their rotten egg smell.

The lower atmosphere has a lot of methane ice.

13. Thanks for releasing this information

underpants.
We might have never known.

Reccing for the scientific content.
Kicking for the headline.
