ESO telescope captures surprising changes in Neptune's temperatures
- hulitu 5y agoWe shall do something before it is too late.
- stychos 5y agoYep, that's all interplanetary warning due to fossil fuels.

- misnome 5y agoClearly the only causes for a changing climate are entirely man-made or entirely natural. No inbetween, no siree. Unless you actually meant weather, your post is a little confusing. Anyhow, let’s just continue pumping whatever we want into the planet just in case it’s entirely natural and impossible for us to make a difference - wouldn’t want to get in the way of making money.
- MattPalmer1086 5y agoWeather prediction is a different problem to climate. If I run a hot bubble bath, I can't tell you where all the bubbles will be, but I can tell you it will be getting hotter and fuller.

- throw82473751 5y agoCould you please read the whole article, maybe also some general literature about Neptune and Earth from some other allknowing x-ogists, and then reread what you just postulated here? Please?
- makerofspoons 5y agoI wish we had built a bunch of Cassinis- one for each gas giant. There's so much about the outermost planets we don't know. Voyager missed the weather changes as Uranus and Neptune changed seasons- a flyby just isn't enough!
- krylon 5y agoI said it before, and I'll gladly say it again: Yes! I would so love for someone to send some probes for long-term observation of Uranus and Neptune. To be fair, I get the impression that no matter where we look in our solar system, we discover heaps of unexpected stuff, and it's all fascinating. But compared to Jupiter and Saturn, we still know fairly little about Uranus and Neptune. :-( Sadly, I think it's rather unlikely this will change anytime soon, but a person can dream...
- pkaye 5y agoThe Juno spacecraft is orbiting Jupiter right now. I think the mission got extended for another couple years.
- NegativeLatency 5y agoWhy stop there, sample returns from all the planets!
- h2odragon 5y agoSomebody lit its fuse. We're gonna have a second sun for a while. The nightlight industry will be devastated. If it catches, of course. You know how it is, tho; the wind blows wrong or whatever and you have to try lighting it again and again until finally you pour a gallon of gasoline on it and toss a lit road flare in.
