The recent study suggests that both Uranus and Neptune may each contain an ocean of water about 5,000 miles thick beneath their outer atmospheres.
Dr. Militzer's proposal is based on simulating the motion of 500 atoms, providing a compelling hypothesis for the unusual magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune.
Previous theories about the strange magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune consider a giant impact early in their life, which may no longer hold true.
These findings by Burkhard Militzer could fundamentally alter our understanding of these ice giants and explain the complexities of their magnetic fields.
