WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists have figured out how the subsurface ocean on Jupiter's moon Europa may have formed and determined that this vast expanse of water may have been able to support ...

Ever since NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto last year, evidence has been mounting that the dwarf planet may have a liquid ocean beneath its icy shell. Now, by modeling the impact dynamics ...

What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study accepted to Icarus hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the ...

What can the surface activity on Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, teach scientists about its subsurface ocean? This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a ...

When the NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft buzzed by Pluto last year, it revealed tantalizing clues that the dwarf planet might have — or had at one time — a liquid ocean sloshing around under its icy ...

The outer solar system is awash with liquid water. A briny ocean is concealed beneath the icy crust of Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon, Europa—with more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined. A ...

New modeling suggests Ceres may have an ice-rich crust and the frozen remains of an ancient muddy ocean. (CREDIT: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA) The scars on Ceres should have softened by now.

Mars isn't our only neighbor that may harbor life. The odds have risen that Saturn's moon Enceladus may, too. On Wednesday, scientists published a paper outlining the increasing complexity of ...

For more than a decade, scientists have accepted that Titan, Saturn’s biggest moon, has a subsurface ocean of liquid water. A new look at the data suggests otherwise. Reading time 4 minutes Over a ...
