Uranus and Neptune are the most distant of the confirmed planets in the solar system. They are in the deep freeze of space but that doesn't mean that nothings going on there. We'll talk about the planets and their many moons and what we have discovered

About The Event
Out in the deep freeze of the solar system there is very little heat from the sun, so Uranus and Neptune are frozen worlds. However in addition to the wonders of the planets themselves (supersonic winds, huge storms, disturbed magnetic fields, etc.) we also believe that there are amazing things to be found on their many moons.
This month, we'll take a look at Uranus and Neptune (including their rings) and we'll then move on to explore some of their most interesting moons.
