After revisiting decades-old data from the Voyager 2 flyby in Jan 1986, NASA scientists have found a shocking discovery. The analysis has revealed a “zigzag” in the magnetic data, just lasting one minute in the Voyager 2’s 45-hour flyby. The zigzag was previously not detected as the data was not analyzed in detail, and just looked at as an overview. Scientists believe that the zigzag represents a plasmoid, a type of structure that was not well understood in 1986.
