Reevaluating Uranus and Neptune: Are They Really Ice Giants?
A new computational model suggests that Uranus and Neptune may have rockier interiors than previously thought, challenging the traditional classification of these planets as 'ice giants' and potentially explaining their complex magnetic fields. The study combines physics-based and observational data to propose that their cores contain significant rock content, which could influence their magnetic properties. Further research and dedicated space missions are needed to confirm these findings.
