Giant Jupiter is easy to recognize by its stripes and Great Red Spot. Shiny rings make Saturn stand out. But, what’s so special about the other two gas giant planets Uranus and Neptune? What makes them blue? Why is Uranus tipped on its side? They both have a bunch of moons - and rings too!

Enjoy an evening with Dr. Fran Bagenal and Dr. Nick Schneider, two of our highly esteemed APS professors and researchers at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.
