Voyager 2's encounter with Uranus may have occurred during unusual conditions, potentially explaining some of the planet's puzzling features. Re-examination of decades-old data from the probe has shed new light on Uranus, possibly revealing similarities with Earth and solving long-standing mysteries. The findings also suggest that Uranus may have experienced a significant event, such as a strong gust of wind or an ancient solar wind event, which could be linked to its extreme radiation belts.
