New Study Suggests Uranus and Neptune May Contain More Rock Than Ice
New models suggest Uranus and Neptune may contain significantly more rock than ice beneath their atmospheres. The findings challenge decades of planetary science and could lead to a reclassification of the outer planets.

Is Rooftop Solar Worth It For Middle Class Homes? Here's The Math
A family using 400 units monthly may spend Rs 40,000 annually. Solar companies argue that rooftop systems can eliminate a major portion of this cost.

Astronomers Discover Trans-Neptunian Object With Atmosphere in Outer Solar System
Astronomers discovered a faint atmosphere around (612533) 2002 XV93 using a stellar occultation. The finding challenges current theories, as such small, cold bodies should not retain gas, hinting at recent activity like impacts or ice volcanism.
