https://detroit.cbslocal.com/2020/03/27/nasa-discovers-gas-emanating-from-uranus/CBS Detroit From decades-old data from the Voyager 2 Space probe that went out and explored the outer reaches of our solar system, NASA researchers have come across a new finding from the probes Jan 24, 1986 fly-by of Uranus.
As Voyager 2 flew by at 50,600 miles from the icy-blue planet, it found cloud tops, two new rings, 11 new moons and temperatures below minus 353 degrees Fahrenheit. What they didnt know, Voyager 2 flew through a plasmoid. A giant magnetic bubble that was putting Uranus atmosphere into space.
These findings in Geophysical Research Letters, raise new questions on Uranus odd-ball magnetic fields. This, however, is nothing new when you look at it from a cosmic perspective. Venus leaks it hydrogen into the solar wind, and Jupiter and Saturn send out massive amounts of their electrically-charged air.

Thank you for the chuckle!

(4,602 posts)The upper atmosphere has a little methane. But much more hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide. Which is what gives farts their rotten egg smell.

The lower atmosphere has a lot of methane ice.
