Nov 3, 2024, 11:28 PM
Recent research suggests that Miranda, the smallest major moon of Uranus, may harbor an ocean and potentially life. The findings indicate that Miranda exhibits complex tectonic features, including regions marked by concentric ridges, which are believed to have formed through geological processes such as tectonic extension and compression. This discovery is supported by data collected from Voyager 2 images, highlighting the moon's geologically recent activity and raising intriguing possibilities regarding extraterrestrial life in the ocean beneath its icy surface.
