Scientists think one of Uranus' moons may once have had an ocean roughly 100 miles deep — about 40 times deeper than the ...

Growing evidence suggests that a subsurface ocean lurks beneath the icy surface of Uranus' moon Ariel, but new research, published in Icarus, characterizes the possible evolution of this ocean, and ...

Ariel, one of Uranus' icy moons, may once have concealed a vast ocean more than 100 miles (170 kilometers) deep beneath its ...

Evidence points to a long-lost ocean beneath Ariel’s icy crust. Tides and orbit shifts may have cracked its surface billions of years ago. Growing evidence indicates that a deep ocean may lie hidden ...

Scientists think Uranus’s moon Ariel once had a hidden ocean beneath its icy shell. The moon’s orbit stretched enough to ...

For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm.

Interest in icy moons has been growing steadily as they become more and more interesting to astrobiologists. Some take the majority of the attention, like Enceladus with its spectacular geysers. But ...

For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm. A ...

What if our understanding of Uranus and Neptune's compositions have been wrong, specifically regarding their classifications ...

Could the world’s most sophisticated space telescope still be lacking moons in our solar system? The James Webb Space Telescope has just discovered one that everyone else missed including Voyager 2, ...

Uranus’ moon Ariel may look like a frozen, airless world today, but new research suggests that beneath its icy crust, it may once have held an ocean more than 100 miles (170 kilometers) deep. That ...
