James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) found that the surface of Uranus' moon Ariel, which is a candidate ocean world, is coated with a significant amount of carbon dioxide ice. It was discovered on ...

New research suggests a moon orbiting the sophomoric-sounding planet might contain enough natural resources to support alien ...

Previous theories proposed that the carbon dioxide on Ariel's surface was replenished through radiolysis, a process involving interactions between the moon's surface and charged particles trapped ...

However, Ariel’s surface—which has canyons, grooves and smooth regions—was found to contain carbon dioxide ice, particularly on the side of the moon that faces away from the direction it orbits.

A reassessment of data from NASA's Voyager 2 has revealed that Uranus' moon Miranda may contain a subsurface ocean, challenging assumptions about its potential for life.

The surface of this moon is nearly as bright as that of Ariel and is the brightest of the larger Uranian moons. Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system. This is also Jupiter's largest moon.

New research explores if the moon was captured by Earth or formed by a collision. Scientists weigh theories, analyzing lunar ...

Miranda is the smallest of Uranus' large moons—after Titania, Oberon, Umbriel and Ariel—at about 290 ... since the formation of the moon's strange surface formations. However, according ...

Ariel Moon is the lead Education Specialist for Early Childhood Programs at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. She develops programs for children, ages 0 to 8 ...

A recent study points to an exciting possibility: that Uranus's moon Miranda, located in the far reaches of our solar system, ...

"To find evidence of an ocean inside a small object like Miranda is incredibly surprising," said Tom Nordheim, a planetary ...
