Only a few #UTIGSeminars left for the fall 2026 semester remain! Join Patrick Fulton this Friday for an Earth-shakingly good presentation. This is a joint seminar with our friends at the @Bureau3E and begins at 3p CT, with a reception following the talk. https://t.co/NOJifWtT2L

#UTIG researchers used data from NASA's Voyager 2 mission to recreate Uranus' and Neptune's whacky magnetic fields.

Their findings suggest that the magnetic arrangements of these ice giants may look completely different than they did 40 years ago: https://t.co/ssyzjC68ix
