New study on moons of Uranus raises chance of life

The planet Uranus and its five biggest moons may not be the dead sterile worlds that scientist have thought.
Instead, they may have oceans, and the moons may even be capable of supporting life, scientists say.

The Voyager 2 flew past Uranus and so scientist like William Dunn from UCL gathered that:

“These results suggest that the Uranian system could be much more exciting than previously thought. There could be moons there that could have the conditions that are necessary for life, they might have oceans below the surface that could be teeming with fish!”
