Pluto’s frozen face looks dead at first glance, but its most famous feature hints at something far stranger than a simple ice ...

Using data gathered by NASA's Juno Jupiter orbiter, scientists estimate that Europa's ice shell is about 18 miles thick — which could make it hard for nutrients to get down to its buried ocean.

Scientists with expertise in geophysics at Washington State University have developed an alternative pathway for the ...

Back in 2015, it was found out that Saturn’s moon Enceladus is actually an ocean world with a subsurface ocean beneath an ice shell. However, no one could come up with a model that could reconcile the ...

Astrobiologists have devised a novel way to determine ocean temperatures of distant worlds based on the thickness of their ice shells, effectively conducting oceanography from space. Cornell ...

The tough icy shell of Saturn's largest moon Titan is apparently far stronger than previously thought, researchers say. These surprising new findings add to hints Titan possesses an extraordinarily ...
