Scientists push for NASA to explore Uranus

Scientists are pushing for more trips to space saying that missions to Uranus need to be prioritised

The planet is known as an “ice giant” and is the seventh in our Solar System only having been visited once before in 1986.

Researchers are calling for the US space agency NASA to conduct an in-depth study of Uranus to provide a better idea of similarly sized objects around other stars.

The US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine made the recommendation known as a “Decadal survey”.

The document is a summary of what scientific questions the American Research Community thinks are important and need to be focused on.

NASA has abided by these recommendations previously.

The last survey asked for a rock-collection mission to Mars and a mission to Jupiter and its moon Europa – both of which are being completed.

Scientists have been calling for further exploration of Uranus of Neptune since the last missions were made on the Voyager-2 spacecraft.

With more planets being discovered around other stars the need for these missions is growing.

Researchers have emphasised that it is still unclear as to how planets the size of Uranus form.

More research is needed to understand “how a world can start to grow and grow and not just carry on to become Jupiter-mass in size”.

Tesla cut the U.S. prices of its Model Y, Model X and Model S vehicles by $2,000 each, days after the first-quarter deliveries of the world’s most valuable automaker missed market expectations.

Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle (EV) maker lowered the prices for its Model Y base variant to $42,990, while the long-range and performance variants are now priced at $47,990 and $51,490, respectively, according to its website.

The basic version of the Model S now costs $72,990 and its plaid variant $87,990. The Model X base variant now costs $77,990 and its plaid variant is priced at $92,900.
Tesla North America also said in a post on X said it would end its referral program benefits in all markets after April 30.

Referral program allows buyers to get extra incentives through referrals from existing customers, a strategy long used by traditional automakers to boost sales.

Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, Reuters reported on Saturday.
On Monday Reuters reported, citing an internal memo, that the EV maker was laying off more than 10% of its global workforce.
Earlier this month Reuters reported the EV maker had canceled a long-promised inexpensive car, expected to cost $25,000, that investors had been counting on to drive mass-market growth.
The EV maker reported this month that its global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter fell for the first time in nearly four years, as price cuts failed to stir demand.

Tesla is to report first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
