Why weren't the ten smaller moons discovered until a space probe passed by uranus?
The ten smaller moons of Uranus were not discovered until a space probe passed by because they are relatively small and faint, making them difficult to detect from Earth due to the planet's distance and brightness. The space probe was able to capture clear images and data from close proximity, allowing scientists to identify these smaller moons orbiting Uranus.
Why aren't the ten smaller satellites discovered until a space probe passed close to Uranus?
Uranus is very far away. The planet itself cannot even be seen without a telescope. Those ten moons are very small. They would have been extremely difficult to find with even the best telescopes.
When they sent the probe to Uranus what did they find?
The Voyager 2 probe flew by Uranus in 1986 and provided valuable information about its atmosphere, moons, and magnetic field. The probe discovered new rings and confirmed the presence of a magnetic field tilted at a significant angle from its axis of rotation. The data collected by Voyager 2 helped scientists better understand the unique characteristics of Uranus, including its icy composition and extreme axial tilt.
What name of the robots or satellite went to Uranus?
The only spacecraft to visit Uranus is NASA's Voyager 2 probe. It conducted a flyby of the planet in 1986, providing valuable data and images of Uranus and its moons. There are no known robots or satellites currently on or orbiting Uranus.
Which planet had 2 new rings discovered in 1986?
Uranus had two new rings discovered in 1986 during the Voyager 2 spacecraft flyby. These rings are now known as 1986U2R and 1986U1R.

When was the Uranus moon cordelia discovered?
The moon Cordelia, the closest to Uranus, was one of 11 moons discovered by the space probe Voyager 2, in January, 1986 (one, Perdita, was not recognized as a moon for another 13 years).

Astronomers have found all the outer planets moons explain?
Probably not. Uranus and Neptune are significantly farther away than Jupiter and Saturn and many of their moons may be rather small and possibly dark-colored, which would make them hard to see from Earth. The only probe to visit the planets was Voyager 2 in 1986 and 1989 respectively. The probe discovered 11 previously unknown moons around Uranus and 6 around Neptune, and both have had more moons discovered since.

What space probe discovered evidence of water at the moons south pole?
the u.s space probe clementinelater another space probe confirmed that frozen ice exists on the moon
Which planet has Pandora as one of its moons?
Pandora is one of Saturn's moons, discovered in 1980 by the Voyager 1 space probe. Its quite small and is one of the inner moons of Saturn.

Have any space probes have been to Uranus?
No space probes have visited Uranus to date. The only spacecraft that has conducted a close flyby of Uranus was NASA's Voyager 2 probe in 1986. There are proposed missions in development that aim to send probes to Uranus in the future.
Did anything explore Uranus?
Sort Of. No human can go out that far. The only thing that can reach Uranus is a probe. The only probe I know of to reach Uranus was Voyager 2.
How many moons and rings does Neptune have?
Neptune has 13 known moons and a ring system with 5 principal rings, which were discovered in 1989 by the Voyager 2 space probe. (see related question)
