Exoplanet surface mapped: Webb’s infrared data revealed LHS 3844 b’s Mercury-like, atmosphere-free surface, rich in dark basaltic rock and shaped by billions of years of space weathering. Neptune’s ...
Uranus and Neptune may not be the icy worlds we’ve long imagined. A new Swiss-led study uses innovative hybrid modeling to reveal that these planets could just as easily be dominated by rock as by ...
Surface of LHS 3844 b: Webb data shows the rocky exoplanet is a dark, airless basaltic world with extreme temperature differences, resembling Mercury more than Earth. Neptune’s hidden auroras: ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has peered at Uranus, left, and Neptune to study the so-called "ice giant" planets, but little is known about their interior composition. - NASA / ESA / M. Showalter / L.
A team of researchers from the University of Zurich and the NCCR PlanetS is challenging our understanding of the solar system planets' interior. The composition of Uranus and Neptune, the two ...
Models for the interior structures of the ice-giant planets Uranus and Neptune have two distinct, intermediate layers: an upper, water-rich convecting layer where disorganized magnetic fields are ...
The interiors of Uranus and Neptune may be rockier than scientists previously thought, a new computational model suggests — challenging the idea that the planets should be called "ice giants." The new ...
