Uranus' Moons May Be More Alive Than We Thought

A new study challenges the long-held belief that Uranus and its five largest moons are inactive and lifeless.

Data from NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, which flew past Uranus in 1986, was misinterpreted due to a powerful solar storm that occurred at the time.

The new analysis suggests that Uranus' moons could have oceans beneath their surfaces, potentially making them habitable.

This discovery has prompted NASA to plan a new mission, the Uranus Orbiter and Probe, to further investigate the possibility of life on these moons.
