Just when you think humanity has the technology for a thorough probe of Uranus, abnormal winds is forcing scientists to rethink everything we thought we knew about this distant gaseous giant.

New peer-reviewed research published in Nature Astronomy suggests that the atmosphere of the solar system’s seventh planet has “anomalous characteristics” caused by intense solar winds. The information analyzed by astronomers was collected during the 1986 flyby of Voyager 2, humanity’s only probe into the gaseous giant Uranus.

“The data collected about Uranus was a little confusing and didn’t make sense,” said Max Gilbraith, planetarium coordinator for the University of Wyoming. “You could say that the first time we tried to probe Uranus, it was kind of weird, and we're hoping it can be more successful if we try again with this new information.”

Is this because Uranus has drunk enough to take risks?
