Ariel Had A 170km Deep Sub-Surface Water Ocean

Interest in icy moons has been growing steadily as they become more and more interesting to astrobiologists. Some take the majority of the attention, like Enceladus with its spectacular geysers. But there are interesting ones that might be hiding amongst even thicker ice shells in the Uranian system. A new paper published in Icarus from researchers at the Planetary Science Institute, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of North Dakota, looks at what Ariel, the fourth biggest moon in the Uranian system, might look like under its icy surface.

Scientists discover potentially huge freshwater reservoir hidden beneath Great Salt Lake

Researchers have found a layer of fresh water beneath Utah's Great Salt Lake that reaches up to 2.5 miles deep and could turn out to be as big, or bigger, than the lake.

Researchers discovered that marine viruses exhibiting cyclical behavior are predominantly active at night, specifically targeting heterotrophic microbes that consume organic matter rather than the expected photosynthetic bacteria.

🌍🌋 Three tectonic plates are pulling apart in northeastern #Ethiopia to create the #Danakil Depression. This geological rift contains #magma pools and acidic #springs where the average temperature exceeds 46ºC.

Scientists visit the site to study #polyextremophiles which are #bacteria that survive in environments with no oxygen and high acidity.

It’s the size of the Serengeti, hotter than Hades with deadly acid-filed lakes – and is called the Gateway to Hell. This is the closest to another planet you can get | Discover Wildlife

A blistering, otherworldly expanse in northeastern Ethiopia, the Danakil Depression is one of the hottest and most inhospitable places on Earth.
