Uranus' 8,000 kilometre thick layer of water which sits just underneath the massive planet's atmosphere could explain its weird magnetic fields, a study suggests - ditto for Neptune

Uranus and Neptune were only visited once by human spacecraft when Voyager 2 passed by them almost 40 years ago. During those visits, scientists measured peculiar magnetic fields unlike those seen around other planets.

That’s true for Jupiter, Saturn, Earth and some of the moons of Jupiter as well.” When NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft flew past Uranus in 1986, however, it discovered something unusual. “The magnetic field was hugely tilted and offset from the center of the planet,
