Undiscovered gems in Uranus and Neptune’s atmospheres. Neptune and Uranus are both categorised as ice giants, which are planets with dense, frigid atmospheres. According to NASA’s latest research, ...

This C-N-H layer is almost like a plastic polymer, Militzer explains, and cannot support even a disorganized magnetic field – unlike the upper, water-rich layer, which likely convects. A future ...

“Uranus and Neptune have disordered magnetic fields because they produce these fields in a thin water-rich layer in their mantles while our Earth generates its magnetic field in the core ...

This process, however, is absent from Uranus and Neptune.So, scientists wondered: Why would that be? For the last two decades, researchers had speculated that this was because layers of material ...

The outermost layers of Uranus and Neptune consist mainly of clouds of hydrogen, helium and methane, which absorbs red light, giving these planets their blue hues.
