Although they are technically gas giants, Uranus and Neptune are referred to as "ice giants" due to their composition.
Recent research suggests that Uranus and Neptune, long classified as “ice giants,” might instead be rock giants.
New models suggest Uranus and Neptune may hold far more rock than expected, raising questions about how these distant planets formed.
Fresh simulations show there is a chance Uranus and Neptune might actually be rock-rich worlds wrapped in thinner icy layers.
The cold and remote planets originally earned their label of "ice giants" to contrast their interiors from those of Jupiter ...
New research shows Uranus’ fierce radiation belts were a short-lived blast from a solar storm, reshaping what Voyager 2 ...
New study of Voyager 2 data shows Uranus experienced a solar wind event during the 1986 flyby, helping explain unusual magnetosphere readings ...
During its 1986 observation of the planet in the first and only flyby, the spacecraft measured a surprisingly strong electron ...
Revisiting old data from Voyager 2, scientists have worked out how a dense, shocked region of the solar wind could have ...
