Hints of Ocean at Ariel
7/25/2024
A
team of scientists led by Richard Cartwright from the Johns Hopkins
Applied Physics Laboratory has used JWST to determine that Uranus’ moon
Ariel has some of the most carbon dioxide-rich deposits in the solar
system, as well as evidence of Carbon Monoxide which should not exist at
temperatures found at the moon. All this has led to speculation that a
sub-surface ocean is helping to replenish the CO through radiolysis.
