Uranus, Neptune

Neptune and Uranus have a magnetic mystery — but the case may finally be cracked
Both of the ice giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, lacked what's known as a "dipole magnetic field." This was in stark contrast to our own rocky world, as well as the two gas giants Jupitar and Saturn.
Diamond Rain Theory of Uranus and Neptune Challenged
The atmospheres of the ice giants Uranus and Neptune may be separated into layers that don't mix, like oil and water.
Vast Oceans of Water May Be Hiding Within Uranus and Neptune
A scientist simulated the contents of the ice giant worlds, and found that a fluid layer may explain each planet’s strange magnetic field.
Uranus Is Hiding 8000-Km Deep Ocean? New Study Presents Thrilling Hints
A fascinating new study has shed light on the mysterious interiors of Uranus and Neptune, two of the least explored planets in our solar system. Using advanced computer simulations, scientists have proposed that beneath their bluish hydrogen-and-helium atmospheres lie distinct layers of material that don’t mix, much like oil and water.
What lies beneath the surface of Uranus and Neptune?
Dramatic theories have been proposed to explain the mysterious interiors of Uranus and Neptune, the ice giants of our solar system.
A clue to what lies beneath the bland surfaces of Uranus and Neptune
When Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune 40 years ago, astronomers were surprised that it detected no global dipole magnetic fields, like Earth's. The explanation: the ice giants are layered and unmixed,
Uranus and Neptune May Conceal Vast Oceans of Water
We might finally understand what’s going on inside Uranus and Neptune, and the answer is pretty surprising: They may each contain an ocean of water. “We didn’t really know anything before,” about their interiors,
There May Be 5,000-Mile Deep Oceans On Uranus And Neptune, Scientist Says
A planetary scientist proposes that the interiors of Uranus and Neptune are layered, with deep oceans of water above compressed carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen.
Huge Water Oceans Might Be Lurking Deep Within Uranus And Neptune
Uranus and Neptune were only visited once by human spacecraft when Voyager 2 passed by them almost 40 years ago. During those visits, scientists measured peculiar magnetic fields unlike those seen around other planets.
