NASA gaat op zoek naar ondergrondse oceanen in de manen van Uranus

Verschillende van de ijsmanen in de Jupiter- en Saturnus-systemen lijken interne vloeibare wateroceanen te hebben. Onze kennis van de manen van Uranus is beperkter maar een toekomstige verkenning van het Uranus-systeem heeft het potentieel om onder

4 out of 5 #Uranus #moons likely to have #ocean under crust
A preview of what #UranusOrbiter and Probe might find in the 2040s
The #water is believed to be located between the core and icy crusts in oceans 30km deep for moons Ariel and #Umbriel, and less than 50m for #Titania and #Oberon.
It's not uncommon to find water in dwarf #planets and moons. For example, #dwarfplanets #Ceres and #Pluto, as well as #Saturn's moon #Mimas, have all shown evidence of liquid water.

Four moons of #Uranus could have liquid water oceans beneath their surfaces. A reanalysis of data from the #Voyager2 flyby of Uranus and improved computer modeling led a team of scientists to conclude that four of the planet's largest moons — #Ariel, #Oberon, #Titania and #Umbriel — could have layers of liquid water well below their surface. For the larger moons of Oberon and Titania, the oceans could be warm enough to be habitable.
