Temperature Drop On Neptune
WASHINGTON, April 11 (Reuters) -
Focusing upon Neptune's stratosphere - the researchers had expected to find rising temperatures in the part of the planet visible from Earth with the onset of its southern hemisphere summer, a season lasting four decades. Instead, they found temperatures declining significantly.
Neptune's stratosphere temperature fell as much as 14 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) to minus 179 F (minus 117 C) over the 17 years studied.
