And now, new research based on images taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft has suggested that Miranda, a small Uranian icy moon, may have once possessed a deep liquid water ocean beneath its surface.
Numerical models suggested that, at some point, Miranda was in resonance with some of its nearby moons. But, later, this ...
A reassessment of data from NASA's Voyager 2 has revealed that Uranus' moon Miranda may contain a subsurface ocean, ...
New research suggests a moon orbiting the sophomoric-sounding ... and the University of North Dakota say the lunar object, named Miranda, has sources of water hidden below its surface.
Surface features of Uranus' icy moon Miranda point to the existence of a once deep ocean, one that still may exist today.
Why it matters: For decades, Miranda – the small, icy moon of Uranus – was thought to be nothing more than a frozen hunk of rock and ice. However, new research from Johns Hopkins University is ...
A UND Ph.D. candidate is the lead author on a study exploring the possibility Uranus' moon Miranda hosted a massive subsurface ocean in the last 500 million years. The surface of Uranus' moon ...
New research indicates that Uranus's moon Miranda may be hiding a subsurface ocean, challenging many assumptions about its history and composition. The finding suggests that Miranda could have ...
This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated if Uranus’ moon, Miranda, could have possessed an interior ocean at some ...
