Neptunes interior, artwork
Neptunes interior. Computer artwork showing the interior structure of the planet Neptune. Internally, Neptune is divided into three major layers: a 5000 km-thick gaseous atmosphere (blue), consisting mostly of hydrogen and helium; a 16, 500 km-thick liquid mantle (green) of water, ammonia and methane, and a rocky core with a radius of 3000 km. The most dynamic layer is the mantle, which generates the magnetic field of the planet

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing interior structure of the majestic planet Neptune. Created through computer artwork, it unveils the hidden secrets that lie beneath its enigmatic surface. The image reveals three distinct layers that compose Neptune's internal composition. The first layer depicted in a striking blue hue represents the gaseous atmosphere enveloping the planet. Composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, this 5000 km-thick layer sets the stage for Neptune's breathtaking beauty. Beneath this atmospheric blanket lies a vibrant green liquid mantle spanning an impressive 16,500 km in thickness. This dynamic layer consists of water, ammonia, and methane, contributing to Neptune's intriguing geological characteristics. At its core lies a rocky center with a radius measuring 3000 km. This solid foundation serves as the anchor for all other layers and adds stability to this celestial wonder. Of particular interest is the mantle layer which generates Neptune's magnetic field - an ever-evolving force shaping its surroundings within our vast universe. Set against a black background, this artistic representation provides a unique perspective into Neptunes' inner workings while showcasing its layered complexity. It invites us to ponder upon the mysteries that lie deep within our solar system and reminds us of humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about distant worlds beyond our own.
