2024: APL's Richard Cartwright used observations of Uranus' moon Ariel by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to conclude the moon may have a subsurface ocean that's replenishing its surface ...

Discover the planet that has the most moons. This planet is a ringed giant and the second largest in the solar system.

Which signs will be most impacted by the full moon on May 12? Here's why the full flower moon in Scorpio will impact fixed ...

The moons .f Uranus, in contrast to their primary, revolve in a retrograde or backward direction-their orbital plane being just past the critical position of perpendicularity. Notwithstanding the ...

Miranda, the deformed and most undersized of Uranus' large moons, features a patchwork of ridges, valleys, and great cliffs. Scientists consider its mixed-up surface to be the product of intense ...

Uranus has 13 known rings, 27 moons, and a whole lot of mystery. It’s made mostly of hydrogen, helium, water, ammonia, and methane. The planet is classified as an ice giant because of the weird ...

Ariel, Uranus’s fourth largest moon, is thought to be made of equal parts rock and ice. A new computer model developed at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics could be used to detect ...

Unlike the collision that helped form the Earth and Moon, the impact between Uranus and this unknown icy object would have generated a wealth of gas and smaller debris. The planet tipped over onto ...

The impact likely caused Uranus's larger moons and rings, which orbit in line with its rotation, to gain their unique path as well. There is still quite a bit to learn about Uranus, considering ...

NASA researchers got a rare chance to study Uranus' atmosphere and rings this month, when the ice giant passed between Earth and a distant star, creating a "stellar occultation." This rare event ...

Nov. 25, 2024 — A new computer model can be used to detect and measure interior oceans on the ice covered moons of Uranus. The model works by analyzing orbital wobbles that would be visible from ...
