Scientists urge NASA to visit Uranus

by time news

An influential panel of planetary scientists suggested in a new report that “NASA” send a spacecraft to Uranus, to study the composition of the planet, its rings and its moons.
Stemming from a process known as the decadal survey, the annual recommendations provide guidance to NASA for prioritizing science goals, and they always listen.
In the recommendation published by the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Washington, DC, the scientists suggested the importance of sending a “NASA” spacecraft to Uranus, according to what Russia Today reported.
“This mission will be absolutely transformative,” said Amy Simon, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Simon added that the most obvious reason that pushes “NASA” to go to Uranus is that “it is technically feasible at the moment.”
Uranus, the “ice giant”, is located 1.925 billion miles from Earth, and has not been an important planet since 1986, when Voyager 2 flew close to it.
Many experts say that this seems like an oversight on the part of “NASA”, given that Uranus is a scientific mystery waiting to be revealed, as Uranus orbits almost completely on its side and after it has developed a complex magnetic field are things we do not yet understand about the planet.
