One of Uranus's moons likely has an ocean while the composition of the planet itself is more bizarre than we knew ...

Nearly 40 years after Voyager 2's journey, NASA plans to revisit Uranus to explore its moons for hidden liquid water oceans, ...

Most of humanity’s knowledge about Uranus came from a 1986 Voyager 2 flyby on “a particularly windy day.” A new study says ...

What lies beneath the thick, bluish atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune? For decades, scientists have speculated about the ...

By exploring Uranus’s moons, scientists aim to refine the tools and models necessary to search for life in similarly extreme ...

New research at UC Berkeley offers a fresh perspective on Uranus and Neptune's interiors, indicating layered structures of ...

Researchers at the University of Texas have developed a computer model that can detect liquid water on the moons of Uranus by ...

A scientist simulated the contents of the ice giant worlds, and found that a fluid layer may explain each planet’s strange ...

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.

Chiefly, the finding could help explain why Pluto, the largest known object in the Kuiper Belt — a vast region of icy bodies ...

Uranus and Neptune are unique but superficially bland ice giants in our solar system. Planetary scientists have devised two ...

A new paper, published in Geophysical Research Letters, revealed how the model could use Uranus’ moons wobble to detect the oceans. Small wobbles of the world’s moons occur as they orbit the ...
