Uranus and Neptune may be more rocky than icy, say astrophysicists – Physics World Novel modelling approach suggests that the traditionally ice-rich image of these planets may be skewed

2 cutaway views of a bluish planet. One shows a mostly ice interior and the other shows a mostly rock interior.

Did you know? Astronomers sort the planets in our solar system into 3 categories: rocky, gas giants and ice giants. #Uranus and #Neptune are the #icegiants. But researchers in Switzerland said that they might really be rock giants instead. 🔭

La structure des planètes les plus éloignées de notre système solaire, Uranus et Neptune, étudiée Les planètes du système solaire sont divisées en trois catégories. Uranus et Neptune seraient des géantes de glace, mais cela reste incertain.

Uranus et Neptune dévoilent leur cœur. Ces géantes glacées seraient bien plus complexes qu’on le pensait, et ça rebat les cartes.

Longstanding “Ice Giant” Classification of Uranus and Neptune Might Be Conflicted What if our understanding of Uranus and Neptune’s compositions have been wrong, specifically regarding their classifications as “ice giants”? This is what a recent study accepted for publication...

Planetary Alignment Provides NASA Rare Opportunity to Study Uranus When a planet’s orbit brings it between Earth and a distant star, it’s more than just a cosmic game of hide and seek. It’s an opportunity for NASA to improve its understanding of that planet’s atmosphere and rings. Planetary scientists call it a stellar occultation and that’s exactly what happened with Uranus on April 7. […] The post Planetary Alignment Provides NASA Rare Opportunity to Study Uranus first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

I’ll be at #AGU24 tomorrow for #IceGiants (am) and #PlanetaryImpacts (pm) to talk about the SL9 Hubble 🔭 30th anniversary. Say hi if you see me, and remind me of your name since I seem to losing my ability to remember names….

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.
