There are several frozen moons in our solar system, orbiting the gas giants. Some of them, despite having temperatures that would make Antarctica feel tropical, have liquid water under the surface.

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

That’s also true for the other moons that provide the gravitational stress. As a result, the internal oceans may actually ...

The outer planets of the solar system are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus, are ...

N ASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft is on its cruise to explore Jupiter’s mysterious ice moon, Europa. On this path, it clicked ...

Parker Solar Probe Makes History by Touching the Sun 8 million miles above the Sun's surface on December 24, 2024, traveling ...

Cutting-edge simulations show that Enceladus’ plumes are losing 20–40% less mass than earlier estimates suggested. The new ...

You may have heard people say that aboard the International Space Station (ISS) there's "zero gravity," but in fact, gravity is still very much present. The station orbits Earth at an altitude of ...

New research suggests that Ariel, a moon of Uranus, might have once harbored an ocean about 100 miles (170km) deep. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/PSI/Mikayla Kelley/Peter ...

Uranus, often referred to as the planet of cosmic rebellion, challenges traditional norms to forge new pathways. As a generational planet, it moves more slowly than the personal planets, taking ...
