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 ...

Like the ice giant itself, Uranus' moons orbit the sun on their sides and this is just one element that makes them some of the most unusual bodies in the solar system.

The moons, from largest to smallest as they appear here, are Ariel, Miranda, Titania, Oberon and Umbriel. (Image credit: NASA/JPL) The moons of Uranus could be sloshing with oceans hiding just ...

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 ...

Uranus has 28 confirmed moons, including five major moons.The closest of these large satellites is Miranda, followed by Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon — all named after characters from plays ...

Scientists say a theoretical model shows five of the largest moons around Uranus may have subsurface oceans. Sending a space probe could confirm it.

The next two moons of Uranus, Ariel and Umbriel, were discovered by English astronomer William Lassell between 1851 and 1852. These two moons couldn't be more different in terms of appearance.

New models of Uranus’ moons show where possible internal oceans could exist. Image source: NASA/JPL-Caltech. For starters, the scientists took the old data from Voyager 2 and then combined it ...

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 ...
