Encontrando los océanos ocultos de las lunas usando campos magnéticos inducidos

by Morgan Rehnberg 5 May 20225 May 2022

Un análisis de componentes principales de modelos especulativos puede predecir con más seguridad que las técnicas anteriores la p^ppresencia de un océano subsuperficial en un objeto planetario.

The dark blue orb of Neptune is viewed by Voyager 2 at an upward angle from the south pole. A dark navy storm spot, the Great Dark Spot, is just to the right of the center of the planet, and white high-altitude clouds are scattered around the planet.

Uranus and Neptune Should Be Top Priority, Says Report

by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 14 December 201817 November 2021

Voyager 2 visited the ice giants in the 1980s, the only craft ever to do so. Planetary scientists argue that new missions to each planet would also benefit heliophysics and exoplanet research.

Diamonds Really Do Rain on Neptune, Experiments Conclude

by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 15 September 201723 December 2021

Researchers subjected hydrocarbon samples in a laboratory to Neptune-like pressures. The samples, reminiscent of molecules found in the ice giant’s atmosphere, compressed into nanodiamonds.
