The study pushes Uranus to the ranks of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune as hosts to at least one icy moon.
’ moons may harbor active oceans that are spewing material into space, a new study indicates. The finding comes from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland.See Also
It is suspected that one or both moons may have active oceans beneath their icy surfaces. The active pumping of material into the space environment points to this possibility, the team asserts. “It isn’t uncommon that energetic particle measurements are a forerunner to discovering an ocean world,” said Ian Cohen, a space scientist, and the lead author of the new study.
Similar measurements have previously led to the identification of the ocean moons of Europa and Enceladus . The team also suggests that a few other largest moons of Uranus could also have subsurface oceans.and were presented at the annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference on March 16.
They discovered unusual plasma activity between the moons, Ariel and Miranda. “What was interesting was that these particles were so extremely confined near Uranus’ magnetic equator,” Cohen said in aThe observations from Voyager 2 were recreated using physical models. The team has drawn two conclusions from this: the particles form either through a vapor plume or through sputtering.After years, Uranus has risen to the forefront of scientific research.
