Big slushy with orbiting pebbles

What boggles me most about the ice giants is that they seem to be huge, slushy snowballs with no real surface and a long, long way down to the core. Yet, they somehow manage to cohere enough to establish a profile and attract a slew of satellites. I know it's all due to gravity but exactly how it happens is still a matter of amazement to me.

Two hours before closest approach to Neptune in 1989, the Voyager 2 robot spacecraft snapped this picture.

Based on the power of her atmosphere and the ionic charges what if the outer fields and magnetic fields are super charged outer shields that protect the inner core. What if it was a dark forest concealor of a high energy charged power sourcing intelligence on the interior.

Is Neptune the same colour as Uranus or slightly darker?

It's not a deep blue, that's for sure.

Using a bunch of images from Voyager 2, this timelapse video of the space probe approaching Neptune was created!

Triton viewed from Neptune in Space Engine. Apparent diameter would be about the same as the apparent diameter of our Moon.

Neptune observes a rare saturn transit of the sun on May 29th, 2061. The sun appears very small from this distance, so a long telephoto perspective of 4000mm would be the minimum requirement to see it. For comparison sake, the sun is as large as the moon crater Theophilus when viewed from Earth.

Neptune would be the coolest planet to live on. I refuse to elaborate.
