Uranus has always been one of the solar system's most enigmatic planets. Uranus is an ice giant, a type of planet that is different from the rocky planets on the inside, or the gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn. It's been decades of study of its oddball structure, atmosphere and magnetic field, and they're trying to understand what's below those blue-green clouds. New research has shed light on Uranus's interior, revealing that it is perhaps even more icy than believed, and providing clues to the planet's formation and evolution.
