Previous theories have suggested a range of hidden properties of the two planets, including that these distant ice giants may hide downpours of diamonds ... NASA images of Uranus (left) and ...

NASA's James ... worlds of Uranus and Neptune--two of the most mysterious objects in the universe due to the fact that the planets have been experiencing diamond rain. Or so astronomers and ...

The idea of sending a spacecraft to Uranus or Neptune to study diamond rain is both exciting and challenging. NASA is currently planning a mission to Uranus in the 2030s, known as the Uranus ...

the existence of diamond rain can't be proven for certain because little is known about Uranus and Neptune, which are the most distant planets in our Solar System. However, a Nasa group has ...

Take the conundrum, for example, of how the chemical reactions inside of Neptune and Uranus may cause diamonds to rain down on the planets’ cores. Under immense pressure deep below the planets ...

The diamond rain research remains hypothetical because little is known about Uranus and Neptune, the most distant planets in our Solar System. Only one spacecraft—NASA's Voyager 2 in the 1980s ...

Our solar system's blue gas giant is far larger than Earth, at more than 17 times Earth's mass and nearly 58 times Earth's volume, according to NASA ... that diamond rain occurs on Neptune ...

A unique view: These pictures of Neptune were obtained by NASA Voyager 2 on April 26,1989. The picture on the top was taken five hours after that at bottom, during which time the planet rotated ...

New research has determined that diamond rain on Neptune and Uranus forms at a lower depth than previously thought, and could have a stronger influence on the formation of magnetic fields.

Experts are not sure why Neptune's auroras can be seen around the planet's "mid-latitudes," and not the north and south poles NASA ... yet to confirm or obtain images of Neptune’s aurora ...

(Courtesy: HZDR / Blaurock) Firing powerful laser pulses at pieces of plastic has provided new insights into how diamonds could form and rain down on ice-giant planets such as Neptune and Uranus. The ...

The New Horizons spacecraft will take images of the ice giants from "behind." NASA is asking amateur astronomers to help the agency study the ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Next month, NASA will ...
