Recent research suggests that Uranus and Neptune, long classified as “ice giants,” might instead be rock giants.
Fresh simulations show there is a chance Uranus and Neptune might actually be rock-rich worlds wrapped in thinner icy layers.
New models suggest Uranus and Neptune may hold far more rock than expected, raising questions about how these distant planets formed.
Perhaps it's time to rebrand.
