@JohnPhilpin Oh, of course it is. But it’s not wrong. Of course, The New York Times referred to the more specific “giant plasma bubble” the planet was producing, but other news outlets couldn’t resist the gas angle.
@johnphilpin NYT: “‘Even with moderate gassiness, it’s likely that Uranus will be able to hold on to most of its atmosphere for the remainder of the solar system’s life,’ said Paul Byrne, a planetary geologist at North Carolina State University who was not involved in the research. ‘Uranus just has that much gas.’”
And yes, I am extremely punchy right now.
