Using geological mapping and stress modeling, researchers calculated Miranda’s ice shell and possible ... stretching and ...

By mapping Miranda's rugged, heavily cratered surface and comparing pattern alignments, they built a compelling case for the moon concealing a liquid ocean layer beneath its icy shell. Their ...

After mapping the geological surface of Miranda, researchers (including Strom) were able to develop a computer simulation to ...

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.

Uranus’ moon Miranda, once thought to be a lifeless, frozen ball of ice, could actually be hiding vast oceans of liquid water, which according to recent research, could be home to ...

The Uranian moon Miranda may contain a liquid water ocean, according to a team of researchers that recently mapped the satellite’s surface and modeled tidal stress on it. The team published its ...
