The timing of the tick life cycle is why Lyme disease exists, Ostfeld said, and if warming temperatures change the timing, climate change could have a multiplying effect on the spread of the disease.
Like it's sister spacecraft, Voyager 2 also was designed to study the edge of our solar system beyond the planets. Uranus Accomplishments: Following its flybys of Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2 was to become the first spacecraft to visit Uranus. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have flown by Uranus.

At depth it is significantly enriched in volatiles (dubbed ices) such as water, ammonia and methane.ranus's atmosphere is the coldest of all the planets, with its temperature reaching as low as 49 K.
