Lurking in the shadows of our Solar System's gas and ice giants are small, frozen moons. Some of these moons contain roiling liquid water oceans bound by a hard icy shell. A new study, published in ...

Uranus has 29 moons orbiting it. The first two moons Herschel spotted in 1787 were Oberon and Titania, and they are Uranus's largest moons. There is another Uranus moon that the James Webb Space ...

The solar system's oddball planet has some pretty odd moons, too. The first infrared spectra of Uranus's small inner moons, which will be presented on 18 December at the 2025 AGU Annual Meeting in New ...

New research on the Uranian moon Ariel suggests the icy world may be hiding a deep secret. Credit: NASA / JPL Scientists think one of Uranus' moons may once have had an ocean roughly 100 miles deep — ...

A discovery by NASA reveals that Uranus has an additional small moon that was previously hidden to scientists. Discovered by a team led by the Southwest Research Institute using NASA's James Webb ...

Icy moons circling the outer planets may be far more dynamic—and explosive—than they appear. New research suggests that when heat from tidal forces melts their ice shells from below, the sudden drop ...

For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm. A ...

The 29th moon found to be orbiting the solar system’s 7th planet is about six miles wide. By Katrina Miller The space around Uranus just got a bit more crowded. On Tuesday, astronomers using the James ...

(CNN) — Astronomers using the powerful eye of the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted a previously unknown moon whirling around Uranus, according to NASA. The discovery boosts the number of moons ...

A NASA research team including the University of Idaho Physics Professor, Dr. Matthew Hedman, discovered a new moon orbiting Uranus. The team used imagery captured from NASA's James Webb Space ...

Saturn's moon Mimas, just 250 miles wide, could have a liquid water ocean under its outer icy shell, according to new research led by Max Rudolph at UC Davis. If such moons are the right size, water ...

Scientists think one of Uranus' moons may once have had an ocean roughly 100 miles deep — about 40 times deeper than the Pacific Ocean — and could still possibly hold remnants of it. New computer ...
