"Revealing the Real Hues: Color-Corrected Images Show Uranus and Neptune's True Shades"

Recent research led by Professor Patrick Irwin has used modern telescope data to reveal that Neptune and Uranus are both a similar shade of greenish-blue, contrary to the deep azure and pale cyan colors previously thought. The study, which corrected historical color inaccuracies, also explained the slight color variations of Uranus during its orbit. This new understanding of the planets' true colors was achieved by re-balancing composite color images from Voyager 2 and the Hubble Space Telescope, and it provides insights into the atmospheric conditions of these distant ice giants.
