The researchers studied 17 years of data from Neptune collected using telescopes and found surprising fluctuations in the planet’s temperature that they cannot explain. And earlier it became known that there are diamond rains on Neptune.

Neptune has seasonssince it rotates and moves around the sun, but they last much longer than on Earth – about 40 years old.
For example, in the southern hemisphere, summer has lasted since 2005so the researchers were surprised by the significant change in temperature.
In a series of observations conducted between 2003 and 2018, the global average temperature of the planet decreased by 8 ° Cand then around the south pole of the planet, the temperature rose rapidly by 11 °C.
At the moment, astronomers are puzzled by their findings and do not have a clear answer as to what could have caused them.
According to various versions, temperature changes can be associated with something happening in the chemical composition of the planet’s atmosphere, or with a weather phenomenon, with some kind of exposure to the sun, digitaltrends.com reports.
Neptune – the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun solar system. Its mass exceeds the mass of the Earth by 17.2 times and is the third among the planets of the solar system.
