The moons that orbit Uranus are already known to have unusual characteristics: some are heavily cratered, others have ...

"Uranus is weird, so it's always been uncertain how much the magnetic field actually interacts with its satellites." ...

What methods can be used to identify subsurface oceans on the five largest moons of Uranus: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and ...

The complicated magnetic environment of 'weird' Uranus. The four moons in this study—Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon—are tidally locked to Uranus, so that they always show the same side to ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Researchers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory reanalyzed data from the Voyager 2 mission which passed Uranus in the 1980s to look at the five largest of its 27 moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania ...
