The moons that orbit Uranus are already known to have unusual characteristics: some are heavily cratered, others have ...

"Uranus is weird, so it's always been uncertain how much the magnetic field actually interacts with its satellites." ...

A planet-hunting telescope called Ariel will launch in 2029 to study more than 1,000 worlds outside our solar system, known as exoplanets, the European Space Agency (ESA) has revealed.

What methods can be used to identify subsurface oceans on the five largest moons of Uranus: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and ...

The European Space Agency has selected the Atmospheric Remote‐sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large‐survey (ARIEL) project as its next medium-class space mission, with a launch targeted for 2028.

THE UK-LED Space Telescope Ariel has been given the green light to go 'full speed ahead' on a world-first mission to study more than 1,000 planets beyond our solar system.

ESA’s ARIEL mission will detect the chemical signatures of at least a thousand planetary atmospheres in hopes of providing theorists with a long sought ‘standard model’ of exoplanets.

Ariel will monitor each target planet as it moves in front of its host star, observing how the starlight changes as a result of having to pass through the transiting world's atmosphere to reach ...
