The dust then darkens the leading hemispheres of the two outer moons, which bear the brunt of the debris and shield the inner moons, Ariel and Umbriel, from going through the same thing.

Scientists using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope went looking for evidence of one phenomenon and found quite another. The research team studied the four largest moons of the ice giant ...

New modeling shows that there likely is an ocean layer in four of Uranus’ major moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. Salty – or briny – oceans lie under the ice and atop layers of ...

The new data builds on NASA research from last year that probed Uranus moons Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon for evidence of similar deep, water-filled gorges that could show signs of ...

NASA notes that previously it was believed that Uranus’ five largest moons, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, and Miranda were too small to reliably retain enough heat to keep an internal ocean ...

Four of Uranus's largest moons likely contain an ocean layer of water between its core and icy crust, NASA said on Thursday after a re-examining data originally gathered from its Voyager spacecraft.
