"Revealing the True Hues: Astonishing Portraits of Uranus and Neptune Unveiled"

Recent research using color-corrected images has shown that Uranus and Neptune are more similarly colored than previously thought, both displaying a greenish-blue hue. The original Voyager 2 images had depicted Neptune with an artificially enhanced blue color. The study, which also explored why Uranus changes colors with its seasons, suggests that both planets' appearances are influenced by atmospheric haze and methane ice. These findings, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, contribute to a better understanding of the ice giants and support the need for future space missions to explore these distant worlds.
