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.
The planet Uranus has at least 27 moons that we know of. Before the planet was visited by the spacecraft Voyager 2 on January 24, 1986, astronomers knew of only five.Voyager 2 discovered ten small moons. Today, astronomers suggest there may be more tiny satellites among the planet's rings.ntil 1997, Uranus was the only one of the giant gas planets in our Solar System without any known tiny moonlets. In 1997, J.J. Kavelaars of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in British Columbia, and a team of astronomers found the 16th and 17th satellites of Uranus. Those moons are named Caliban and Sycorax.
