Uranus’s ionized gas leak seen for the first time by Voyager 2 decades ago: NASA

NASA's review of Voyager 2's 1986 data revealed that Uranus vented a large plasmoid, a pocket of ionized gas, into space. Uranus is unique due to its sideways rotation and offset magnetic field, causing an unusual wobble. Solar winds caused gas to pinch off, which was discovered by NASA researchers analyzing old data. New research increased data resolution, revealing the plasmoid formation.
