Two more “life worlds” right here in the solar system? - timelineoffuture

Around the planet so far away we can’t see with the naked eye, two “life worlds” were accidentally… spewing right into the NASA capsule which would suggest an Earth-like ocean.

According to Space, that interesting data was omitted for nearly four decades, as world scientists attempting to analyze the “treasure” of Voyager 2, one of NASA’s most distant, ever spacecraft, began to enter interstellar space.

It’s the data section on Uranus, which is the seventh largest planet in the Solar System. Among the moons orbiting it are two interesting worlds, Ariel and Miranda, which are named after the character in a Shakespeare play instead of the Greek-Roman gods like the moons of other planets.

NASA radiation and magnetic data in 1986 indicate that they are adding plasma particles to the Uranian system.

The mechanism by which they do this is unknown, but there is one mechanism that, according to astronomers, is “tantalizing”: They could have oceans underneath the icy surface of Jupiter’s Europa or Saturn’s Enceladus — the famous ones being the Solar System’s “moon of life.”

The way they release plume plume from the ocean is very similar to the way Europa and Enceladus have done.

“It is not uncommon for energy particle measurements to be the premise to explore ocean worlds”, says lead author Ian Cohen from the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL – Maryland, USA).

So Dr. Cohen’s team then “picked up” two more potential ocean worlds, which NASA has been very welcoming in its long run to finding worlds capable of preserving life.

This indicates the value of a potential future mission: To bring a spacecraft dedicated to approaching Uranus and its mysterious moons—with the latter being counted as high as 27.
