... planet's most prominent surface feature – a heart-shaped region named Tombaugh Regio – is hiding a cold, slushy ocean of water ice just below its surface that has strong links with the evolution of key features such as the...

... of the storm produced lightning strikes that could be heard by Cassini’s radio detectors and fresh ammonia and water ice that could be seen in the near-infrared. Not only that, but enormous changes to the temperature and...

... the theory that the clouds are made up of three different chemical layers; a lower layer made of water ice and liquid water, a middle one made of ammonia and sulphur, and an upper layer made of ammonia. The deepest cloud...
... of micrometre-sized grains leads to an overall heating of the disc, so that the water ice line moves further away from the star. An increase in the water fraction inside the disc, maintaining a fixed dust abundance, increases the temperature...
