Studying Uranian moons using passive radar sounding

How can Uranus be used to indirectly study its moons and identify if they possess subsurface oceans? This is what a recent study presented at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated using passive radar sounding methods from Uranus to study its five largest moons: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. This study has the potential to help researchers better understand the format…

How can Uranus be used to indirectly study its moons and identify whether they have underground oceans? This is what a recent study presented at the 56th lunar conference and planetary science hopes to address as a team of scientists studied using Uranus passive radar sampling methods to study its five plus [...]
