NASA scientists have concluded that four of Uranus’ largest moons likely contain an ocean layer between their cores and icy crusts after re-analyzing data from the Voyager spacecraft and new computer ...

Simulations show that subsurface oceans on small moons may hit boiling conditions, potentially creating features like Miranda’s distinctive ridges.

Uranus’s largest moons, Titania and Oberon, may be hiding buried oceans. Surface temperatures averaging around -200°C mean the water-rich worlds are covered in ice, but radioactive elements deep ...

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 a passing spacecraft.
