The astroquakes are expected to start about an hour before Apophis reaches its closest point to Earth and continue for some time after, with vibrations persisting briefly post-flyby. These tremors ...
Voyager 2’s 1986 flyby saw Uranus under rare conditions that occur only 4% of the time, shaping unique data and insights. Voyager 2’s findings hint that Uranus deserves a revisit, prompting ...
Since then, they ought to have been flying around relatively unchanged. It's why we send probes to take samples from them; their material is thought to represent a repository of To find out, they ...
But the data collected by the probe also introduced new mysteries that have continued to puzzle scientists in the decades since the historic flyby. Now, a new look at the data has revealed that ...
