| Uranus has Started Leaking Gas |
| 2020-03-30 |
| [HappyMag] Highly detailed and scientific NASA research can confirm that something massive is coming out of Uranus. Buried data reveals that when the spacecraft flew past the gas giant in 1986, it passed through something called a plasmoid that escaped and stole a big old cloud of the planet’s atmosphere along with it. I couldn't resist the headline. NASA have learnt from Voyager 2’s gassy expedition that the plasmoid itself was about 127,000 miles long and twice as wide. The data, first published in August in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, will be able to give NASA a much more detailed understanding of Uranus’ atmospheric composition, however won’t be able to tell them everything. |

| #6 So not only is there a ring around Uranus, but it's passing gas too? The gas cloud being 127,000 miles long and twice as wide, let's pray some prankster doesn't light it... |
