The timing of the tick life cycle is why Lyme disease exists, Ostfeld said, and if warming temperatures change the timing, climate change could have a multiplying effect on the spread of the disease.
Like it's sister spacecraft, Voyager 2 also was designed to study the edge of our solar system beyond the planets. Uranus Accomplishments: Following its flybys of Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2 was to become the first spacecraft to visit Uranus. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have flown by Uranus. The planet displayed little detail, but gave evidence of an ocean of boiling water about 800 km below the cloud tops.
The Solar Parker Probe will be the first spacecraft to fly into the low solar corona. It will determine the structure and dynamics of the Sun's coronal magnetic field, understand how the solar corona and wind are heated and accelerated, and determine what processes accelerate energetic particles.
