Abstract in brief
- The Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus in 1986 revealed an unusual, highly tilted, and off-center magnetic field, leading scientists to see Uranus as having one of the most extreme magnetospheres in the solar system, characterized by intense radiation belts and a lack of plasma.
- This study revisits the Voyager 2 data and suggests that Uranus's magnetosphere was observed during a rare, highly compressed state caused by intense solar wind pressure, which likely occurred less than 5% of the time.
- The authors propose that if Voyager 2 had arrived slightly earlier, under calmer solar wind conditions, Uranus’s magnetosphere would have looked very different, implying that its so-called "extreme" features may be due to a temporary, unusual compression rather than its regular state.]
