Neptune isn't as blue as you think, and these new images of the planet prove it
A new treatment of images collected by Voyager 2 in the late 1980s using data from the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed the actual colors of the solar system's distant ice giants, Neptune and Uranus.

Damn this is actually upsetting, Neptune is my second favorite planet because of those Voyager pics, that deep blue with white clouds is just iconic.
Still not as bland as Uranus, but damn what a downgrade.
Are you calling a planet with an axial tilt of 82.23° "bland"?
Visually, yeah, can hardly tell it's spinning on its side
Fair enough. The ice giants are difficult to see from Earth anyway. I can't wait for the upcoming Uranus orbiter!
Yeah I'm for sure interested in what probes could tell us about the inner structure of ice giants.
Fr. It's so sad neptune isn't a big blue marble.
