A new treatment of images collected by Voyager 2 in the late 1980s using data from the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed the actual colors of the solar system's distant ice giants, Neptune and Uranus.

    Are you calling a planet with an axial tilt of 82.23° “bland”?

      Visually, yeah, can hardly tell it’s spinning on its side

        Fair enough. The ice giants are difficult to see from Earth anyway. I can’t wait for the upcoming Uranus orbiter!

          Yeah I’m for sure interested in what probes could tell us about the inner structure of ice giants.
