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

The moons that orbit Uranus are already known to have unusual characteristics: some are heavily cratered, others have tectonic features or a patchwork of ridges and cliffs. Using the Hubble space ...

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 planet.

Researchers armed with the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed that some of Uranus' largest moons have one side brighter than the other — but not the side they were expecting.

Of these large moons, Titania and Oberon orbit the farthest from Uranus, and these possible oceans could be dwelling 30 miles below the surface. Ariel and Umbriel may have oceans 19 miles deep.

Some of Uranus' moons show signs of having subsurface liquid oceans where life might be possible. A mission to the Uranian moon system could help planetary scientists learn more about the ...

Scientists revisited old data from NASA's Voyager 2 and say that Uranus' largest moons could be home to massive internal oceans.

This study is the first to detail the evolution of the interior makeup and structure of all five large moons – Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon and Miranda, according to NASA.

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 ...

The team expected that especially for the inner moons Ariel and Umbriel, the trailing hemispheres would be darker than the leading sides in ultraviolet and visible wavelengths.

Scientists find surprising evidence that space dust is shaping the surfaces of Uranus' largest moons.

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 planet. The side of the moon facing the direction of ...
