Possible Oceans Found on Four of Uranus' Moons, NASA Reports.
TL;DR Summary
New computer modeling and re-analysis of Voyager data suggest that four of Uranus’ largest moons likely have ocean layers between their cores and icy crusts. The 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. The work suggests four of the moons hold oceans that could be dozens of miles deep. The National Academies’ 2023 Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey prioritized exploring Uranus.
