Why werent the ten smaller satellites discovered until a space probe passed close to to uranus?
Since Uranus is a long distance from earth and the 10 smaller satellites are so small and dark, we weren't able to discover them until we sent a spacecraft close to Uranus. These satellites are not visible from earth.Uranus is very far away from the Sun and the Earth, and its satellites very small. When Voyager flew there it was much closer and it was easier to detect them.Space probes have proved that Uranus also has ten much smaller satellites that orbit much closer to the planet. These ten are dark in color and do not reflect as much sunlight as the larger ones.

Why couldn't Mendeleev predict the existence of the noble gases in the periodic table of elements?
He could predict other elements because there was an obvious gap, but he couldn't predict the noble gases because he didn't realize that there was going to be an 18th group since none of them were yet discovered. When he first started organizing the periodic table, the pattern still made sense even without the noble gases.
