A study in @NatureAstronomy reveals that Voyager 2's 1986 flyby of Uranus — which formed much of the scientific understanding of the planet —might have occurred under rare conditions, leading to a potentially skewed understanding of the planet's magnetosphere. @NaturePortfolio
Great to see this work led by CPS alumus Dr Jamie Jasinski @spaceJamieJ @NASAJPL, including CPS co-authors Dr Will Dunn @astro__will and Prof Nick Achilleos and CPS alumni Dr @Tom_Nordheim @NASAJPL and Dr Leonardo Regoli @JohnsHopkins APL 👇nature.com/articles/s4155… 🌞 🧲 🪐🤩
I missed this when it came out, but this looks quite important to me. Since the classic Sherwood and @climatedynamics paper, 35°C wet-bulb temp has been viewed as the limit of survivability. This new work finds that the limit of human survivability is lower, closer to 31°C.
How do meteoroids shape exospheres on airless bodies? Janches et al. review @MESSENGER2011 observations of #Mercury and @NASAMoon LADEE observations of the #Moon + dynamical models to explore this complex question! Read on: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
