Four billion years ago, Uranus and Neptune switched places during a gentle ride out to their current orbits. That's the conclusion of Steve Desch, an astrophysicist at Arizona State University, who thinks that all of the gas giant planets took shape twice as close to the sun as they are at present. His work could cut out much of the mystery of how our "impossible" solar system formed. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

An international team of astronomers has discovered that Neptune's south pole is much hotter than the rest of the planet. They have published the first temperature maps of the lowest portion of Neptune's atmosphere, which show that this warm south pole is providing an avenue for methane to escape out of the deep atmosphere. picked by AutumnLotus 12 months ago

Astronomers, including one at The University of Arizona, have successfully predicted the existence of an unknown planet, the first since Neptune was predicted in the 1840s. This planet, however, is outside our own solar system, circling a star a little more than 200 light years from Earth. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

A strange Neptune-sized planet has just been discovered, with ridiculously hot surface temperatures of 520 degrees Kelvin (that's 246.85 degrees C, or 476.33 degrees F). Due to its incredibly-high mass, the water stays in a frozen state. So-called "hot ice" doesn't occur naturally on Earth, but has previously been created in a laboratory. picked by suebe 1 year ago
