Beyond Neptune lies the Kuiper Belt, a vast region of icy bodies offering crucial insights into the solar system’s formation.

These immiscible layers would explain why neither Uranus nor Neptune has a magnetic field like Earth's. That was one of the ...

Scientists detected the planet, designated TOI-3261 b, using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS ). This ...

These immiscible layers would explain why neither Uranus nor Neptune has a magnetic field like Earth's. That was one of the surprising discoveries about our solar system's ice giants made by the ...

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 ...

Think of it like a magnet with north and south poles. It is this process which generates Earth's magnetic field — the protective barrier that shields us from charged particles. This process, however, ...

Ask anyone what their favorite planet in the solar system is besides Earth, and very few will say Uranus or Neptune. The ice giants in the outer solar system are rather dull-looking. Earlier this ...

Mysterious Neptune Dark Spot Detected from Earth for the First Time Aug. 24, 2023 — Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have observed a large dark spot in Neptune's atmosphere ...

It is this process which generates Earth's magnetic field — the protective barrier that shields us from charged particles. This process, however, is absent from Uranus and Neptune. So ...
