Captions provided by CCTubes – Captioning the Internet! A new paper that borrows old astrological data from the Voyager 2 probe has used brand-new computer simulations to find some new weird data about Uranus’s magnetic field. Another paper has new information about our galaxy’s fastest stars, called hypervelocity stars.
