Did Something Massive Smash Into Uranus?

[vailpass]

You might be aware of one of Uranus’ complexities...New evidence strengthens the case that Uranus was smashed in a giant collision...Uranus really is strange.

Scientists have been simulating giant impacts into Uranus since the early 1990s...This allowed them to model how a giant impactor...would have deposited “material and energy inside Uranus” and how much debris would be left over...


But this is just a simulation,... Models can’t tell us exactly what happened; it will take a lot more data to fully understand Uranus’ story.
Uranus is truly a mystery.
