A surprising new study has revealed that atmospheric temperatures in Neptune's southern hemisphere have decreased in the past 17 years, despite the region entering its summer.

Hiding beneath the outer layers of some planets, there may be something spectacular: a constant rain of diamonds.

To create the ice, the scientists had to squeeze a water droplet to 3.5 million times Earth's atmospheric pressure and heat it hotter than the sun.

A recent discovery of giant ammonia-rich hailstones, dubbed mushballs, on Jupiter might explain why Uranus and Neptune seem to have no ammonia in their atmospheres.

Astronomers detected X-rays flaring out of Uranus for the first time. It could be a case of solar scattering, or some as-yet unknown process.

Researchers are investigating an alien version of water inside the strange, icy interiors of Uranus and Neptune.

It depends on whether the planet's atmosphere is predominantly filled with gas or dust particles.

Astronomers have worked out details of the giant impact that knocked Uranus so famously askew.

Buried inside data Voyager 2 gathered at Uranus more than 30 years ago is the signature of a massive bubble that may have stolen a blob of the planet's gassy atmosphere.
