NASA Discovers Gas Emanating From UranusFrom 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. What they didn't know, Voyager 2 flew through a plasmoid. A giant magnetic bubble that was putting Uranus' atmosphere into space.
