Voyager 2 gathered a variety of technical information and sent back photographs of the planet Uranus, giving scientists their greatest knowledge yet of the distant planet. Among the discoveries were additional moons (bringing the total to 14), wind and clouds in the atmosphere, a brown, smog-like he (probably caused by methane gas), and the existence of a magnetic field.
