New images reveal what Neptune and Uranus really look like::Neptune is fondly known for being a rich blue, and Uranus green—but a new study has revealed that the two ice giants are actually far closer in color than typically thought.

Not phased at all knowing that Uranus is bleached.
I swear it was born like that!

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Even though the artificially-saturated color was known at the time among planetary scientists—and the images were released with captions explaining it—that distinction had become lost over time
Ah, well, releasing images where they’re both light gray circles will certainly help dispel this myth. If there’s one thing the public really latches onto, it’s when factual science makes things more boring.
yeah but what’s a better way to dispel this myth?
I like the old Neptune more than the new one.
Yeah this update sucks. Change it back.
Devs continue to ruin this project
No problem, I just need a rocket, 7.2 x 10^48 gallons of blue dye, and ten reliable men.
“We need ten painters to train as astronauts.”
“Why not get ten astronauts, then train them to use paint?”
“How about you shut the fuck up instead?”launches into tirade about all the specific details about painting that astronauts wouldn’t know off the top of their heads
…
“Literally tell me what a Hohmann transfer is. I’ll give you a full day, you can research, meditate, whatever you want. If after that you can describe it to me accurately then I’ll concede that maybe we can train you to be an astronaut, you salt of the earth motherfucker.”
Nobody tell them that dye makes almost no difference to cloud colour. I wanna see their reactions.
That’s ok, I’ll just take the rocket and the men, then.
Hey, if you’re just looking for an excuse to voyage into space with ten reliable men, nobody’s going to stop you.
Aww that’s a shame, the real Neptune looks really dull.
Can we compare this one with Pluto before we decide which one to keep?
