According to New Scientist, a planetary researcher at Southwest Research Institute in Texas named Ben Teolis talked about the seasonal quirks of Uranus’ moons in a presentation at the annual American Geophysical Union meeting last week.
Based on carbon dioxide experiments and computer models, Teolis reportedly found that as the moons’ poles exit a 42-Earth-year night, solar radiation could rapidly convert surface ice to gas, forming a tenuous exosphere that snows down on the opposite pole to sit for another 42 years.
That much is known, and we did get him in the DS remake of the game. VGC pointed to a video from 1995’s Nintendo Space World show, where Nintendo first showed off early demos and concepts of Super Mario 64, Starfox 64, and The Legend of Zelda.
