Interior and Gravity Field Models for Uranus Suggest a Mixed-composition Interior: Implications for the Uranus Orbiter and Probe
February 28, 2025
January 30, 2025
Z. Lin, S. Seager and B. P. Weiss write in The Planetary Science Journal, "The interior composition and structure of Uranus are ambiguous. It is unclear whether Uranus is composed of fully differentiated layers dominated by an icy mantle or has smooth compositional gradients." READ MORE

Phase separation of planetary ices explains nondipolar magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune
February 28, 2025
November 25, 2024
Dr. Burkhardt Militzer writes in PNAS, "The Voyager spacecraft discovered that the ice giants Uranus and Neptune have nondipolar magnetic fields, defying expectations that a thick interior layer of planetary ices would generate strong dipolar fields." READ MORE
