#Voyager2's close encounter with #Uranus wasn't in the original plan
At the time of Voyager 2's launch, Uranus wasn't part of the formal plan. The mission was referred to for a long time as the Mariner Jupiter-Saturn project. The #JPL engineers famously had other ideas and ensured the #spacecraft had enough fuel to continue on a trajectory to Uranus and beyond if the mission was approved.

Oh no!

@borderswx had a low battery yesterday and has been on its backup thermometer since January.

It's the Voyager 2 of weather stations. (-:
