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. The planet displayed little detail, but gave evidence of an ocean of boiling water about 800 km below the cloud tops.
Scientists study violent winds of Uranus, Neptune. Shrouded in a dense layer of clouds, Uranus appears as an almost featureless world when viewed in visible light. Jet streams encircling giant gas planets don't reach deep, according to a new study. (Yohai Kaspi) The Voyager 2 spacecraft photographed bands of clouds around Neptune during its flyby in 1989.
