The major moons of Uranus are thought to have formed in the accretion disc, which existed around Uranus for some time after its formation or resulted from a large impact suffered by Uranus early in its history. [31] [32] This view is supported by their large thermal inertia, a surface property they share with dwarf planets like Pluto and Haumea ...
The moons of the trans-Neptunian objects (other than Charon) have not been included, because they appear to follow the normal situation for TNOs rather than the moons of Saturn and Uranus, and become solid at a larger size (900–1000 km diameter, rather than 400 km as for the moons of Saturn and Uranus).
The sizes and masses of many of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn are fairly well ... There has not yet been an orbiter around Uranus or Neptune for long-term study of ...
The planet Uranus and its five biggest moons may not be the sterile worlds scientists have long thought.
Astronomers have discovered a new moon orbiting Uranus — the first spotted in nearly 20 years — and two new moons around Neptune.
Three-decade old data may have just led scientists to make a new discovery about Uranus.
The retrograde moons are grouped into the Carme, Ananke and Pasiphae groups. Saturn has 146 moons with known orbits; 66 of them have received permanent designations, and 63 have been named. Most of them are quite small. Seven moons are large enough to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, including Titan, the second
A new study from NASA recently announced that four of Uranus’s five biggest moons may have liquid water oceans beneath their surface. The 4 Major Moons of Uranus May Have Underground Oceans ...
