Voyager 2 Flyby of Uranus (1986) Official NASA animations

[Water4Jeremiah]

Today is the 26th anniversary of this event. I want to spend my life celebrating things like this more than I want to do national holidays. Stuff like this is why humanity is so fucking awesome.

and aliens from another galaxyes are researching us and we can barely come to the moon -.-" Astronom rocks!!! thumbs up if its true

Thanks for the upload! We really need to stop funding money into war, politics, etc... but space exploration! I LOVE astronomy! Little is known about the Ice Giants, especially Uranus' moons. They could have geological activity, like Neptune's moon Triton, even though they are smaller, but Saturn's moon Enceladus is very small, yet geologically active! We really need to start sending missions to them, like we did Galileo and Cassini-Huygens! We might find something great! We'd know so much more!

The music, believe it or not, is actually Queen.

I love these animations from NASA. The voyager program has set the standard for interplanetary space exploration.
