Scientists think one of Uranus' moons may once have had an ocean roughly 100 miles deep — about 40 times deeper than the Pacific Ocean — and could still possibly hold remnants of it. New computer ...

A new computer model can be used to detect and measure interior oceans on the ice covered moons of Uranus. The model works by analyzing orbital wobbles that would be visible from a passing spacecraft.
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 ...
They’re running rings around Uranus. New research suggests a moon orbiting the sophomoric-sounding planet might contain enough natural resources to support alien life. Scientists from Johns Hopkins ...

Uranus’s strange magnetic field may be much less weird than astronomers first thought, which means its largest moons could be much more active, and even perhaps have global oceans. Our only direct ...
New research on the Uranian moon Ariel suggests the icy world may be hiding a deep secret. Credit: NASA / JPL Scientists think one of Uranus' moons may once have had an ocean roughly 100 miles deep — ...
The planet Uranus, photographed by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986. The planet and its moons are expected to be the target of NASA’s next major mission to the outer solar system. When NASA’s ...
