Very interesting .. modelling different states of water under extreme conditions.

This article set me into motion as I was unaware that any probe has ever detected 'big' water on Neptune (this does not mean there isn't any .. it just means I don't know whether there is or there isn't. (I'm not not sure about Uranus).

Forgive me if I'm a little sceptical but mostly, (& I'm not saying this is one), whenever I've gone looking to find where the hard data showing 'big' water presence, I usually end up with wobbly statements rather than "this much H2O was detected by such and such a probe", etc. It just happened again checking thru Wiki on Neptune.

It seems that many scientists like to imagine H2O on these planets, in abundance but I can never quite put my finger on the hard evidence. Is it just me or has anyone else ever noticed this ? I'm happy to have my perception corrected.

Cheers
