A nice summary of our paper that came out last month!

[Springer Nature @SpringerNature]

A study in @NatureAstronomy reveals that Voyager 2's 1986 flyby of Uranus — which formed much of the scientific understanding of the planet —might have occurred under rare conditions, leading to a potentially skewed understanding of the planet's magnetosphere.

@Theflyingnipple Yes there is aurora at Uranus.

[NASA @NASA]

Scientists are mining the mysteries of Uranus. (Yeah, we said it.)

Almost 40 years ago, @NASAVoyager got a close look at Uranus for the first time—but a new analysis is helping explain a few of the planet's unexplained oddities: https://t.co/h90is9buAi

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the planet's magnetosphere seemed super weird. There was no plasma, and the radiation belts were mega intense.

Now we might know why, because of rare solar activity hitting the planet.

My excellent friend @spaceJamieJ discovered that lots of Uranus's mysterious behaviour that we've talked about for decades, based on Voyager 2s flyby, happened during really extreme solar wind conditions. It's out today here: https://t.co/0taEEwX5ev . May be some news coverage.

[Nature Astronomy @NatureAstronomy]

A reanalysis of the 1986 Voyager 2 flyby of Uranus shows that it occurred during an extreme compression of the planet’s magnetosphere by the solar wind. This would have had significant effects on the measurements made during the flyby. @spaceJamieJ et al.: https://t.co/Bexf06nbR7

When @NASAVoyager 2 flew by Uranus in 1986, it provided our first — and, so far, only — close glimpse of this strange outer planet.

Scientists are still analyzing the data from that flyby, and one researcher recently found a surprise: https://t.co/fVgZN2kMI9

First look at the Solar System's innermost planet from today's #MercuryFlyby, including the recently named "Challenger Rupes" in anticipation of the scarp being well seen this flyby 🤩 https://t.co/eoI8jGOuXA #ExploreFarther

Part of the @PlanetEnviroOU corridor now features 3 completed #Mercury geological maps by @OU_SPS and 3 by our Italian colleagues. 3 more are underway here @planmap_eu @ESA_Bepi

Planetary Decadal Survey is out and recommends Uranus Orbiter+Probe as #1 priority.

Check out my 3 talks at AGU this year:
SM53C-04: Photoionization at Mercury's Exosphere
SM43B-01: Reconnection at Saturn
P52B-09: Neptune's pole-on magnetosphere

Can I now call myself a collector of planets? 😂

[Dr Jamie Jasinski @spaceJamieJ]

A great paper I had the pleasure to co-author, led by Diego Janches @NASAGoddard

[Mercury Exploration Assessment Group (MExAG) @ExploreMercury]

How do meteoroids shape exospheres on airless bodies? Janches et al. review @MESSENGER2011 observations of #Mercury and @NASAMoon LADEE observations of the #Moon + dynamical models to explore this complex question! Read on: https://t.co/tY99AjF0yz

@lx_bdr @theAGU @AGUPlanetary Pay attention to your figures. They edited my figures, which ruined the y-axes tickmarks and labels. I had to ask for them to use the original figures I submitted.

[Dr Jamie Jasinski @spaceJamieJ]

@lx_bdr @theAGU @AGUPlanetary I agree....it changed a lot of things in my paper. So much time spent correcting things that were already properly formatted which they changed after acceptance. I asked to be able to see a second proof, which was ignored and they just published it....🙄

[Dr Jamie Jasinski @spaceJamieJ]

Ever wondered what processes produce Mercury's sodium exosphere? Check out the schematic from a paper I led that has now been published in GRL which discusses the exosphere and the role of photoionization. Paper link: https://t.co/7oeTnQ1jnu @ExploreMercury @NASAJPL @LASPatCU

I need to permit myself a little self-promotion.... my first first-author paper has recently been accepted to JGR Space Physics! Typeset and formatted version coming soon :D https://t.co/6SSOwU0ZwY #Jupiter #EuropaMoon

[Mercury Exploration Assessment Group (MExAG) @ExploreMercury]

Temperature isn't the only thing changing during the seasons...@spaceJamieJ et al. analyzed how the amount of sodium lost due to photoionization varies throughout a year on #Mercury using @INSU_CNRS #Themis telescope and @MESSENGER2011 data. Read on: https://t.co/BIkNshBeZ8
