Scientists think at least two of Uranus's moons — Titania and Oberon — may harbour liquid water oceans beneath their icy crusts, kept warm not by the sun but by radioactive decay deep in their interiors. If true, they join a growing list of ocean worlds in the solar system

In the foreground, a few pink flowers on a grassy field lean to the right. Behind them is a long, silver cylinder being moved by crews in bright green safety shirts and vests. The massive object is the liquid hydrogen tank for the Artemis IV rocket.

Skylab cost roughly $2.2 billion, hosted nine astronauts across three missions and remained in orbit for just over six years — before breaking apart over Western Australia, where its remains became museum exhibits, Lucite-encased souvenirs and, according to local accounts, even a cattle trough.

Finding no evidence of life in Enceladus’s ocean could be almost as scientifically important as finding it — because a world with liquid water, internal heat, phosphorus and complex organic chemistry but no detectable biology would suggest that the ingredients for life are far easier to assemble than life itself

This image the red potato galaxy inside its cloud of gas, coloured red in this image. The blue gas contains another galaxy, and the extended blue region is the x-ray jet from the galaxy's AGN. The red potato is quiescent, despite being surrounded by gas, and researchers think it's because of the jet from the neighbouring galaxy. Image Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/Univ. Milano-Bicocca/W.
