NASA's urgent mission to probe Uranus comes at a critical time, with a rare planetary alignment in 2031 offering a unique chance to explore this distant planet. By using Jupiter's gravity for a gravity assist, the mission aims to place a spacecraft in orbit around Uranus to study its atmosphere, rings, moons, and potential oceans. With Voyager 2's flyby in 1986 as our only previous encounter, this mission could uncover why Neptune is warmer than Uranus and explain Uranus's tilted magnetic field. Prioritizing this mission now is essential to meet the 2031 launch window and revolutionize our understanding of the outer solar system.
