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.

Japan launches their first lunar probe named Hiten. It was the first lunar probe launched by a country other than the United States or the Soviet Union. The small satellite entered a highly elliptical orbit around Earth that took it past the Moon. On its first flyby, it ejected a smaller probe called Hagoromo into lunar orbit. Hiten was then used to demonstrate the practice of aerobraking where using the resistance of the upper atmosphere to slow a spacecraft and change its orbit. Hiten was the first spacecraft to use this technique. 1986 â Voyager 2 passes the planet Uranus.
