Uranus îs leaking gas.
Uranus is experiencing a gas leak into space every 17 hours, a phenomenon tied to its unusual magnetic field. Unlike most planets, Uranus rotates on its side, which leads to an uneven magnetosphere that intermittently opens and closes, allowing gas to escape. This was first observed by NASA's Voyager 2 during a flyby in 1986 and later confirmed through simulations by scientists from Georgia Tech. The planet releases plasmoids, large bubbles of gas, into space, which are thought to result from interactions with solar winds that strike Uranus at specific angles.
