What didn’t fit
What didn’t fit
Neptune tests how quickly a hypothesis becomes internet “fact.” Its winds, lack of a solid surface and strong internal heat flux are supported. Hydrogen sulfide has spectroscopic evidence too, though saying a human would smell the planet ignores an atmosphere no unprotected person could sample. The diamond-ocean story is model-dependent, not observed geography. Neptune remains extraordinary without promoting imagery into fact.
