A new computer model can be used to detect and measure interior oceans on the ice covered moons of Uranus. The model works by analyzing orbital wobbles that would be visible from a passing spacecraft.

Since Uranus' orbit is exceptionally slow, orbiting the sun about once every 84 Earth years, it'll be mostly in the same spot it was this year when Earth comes around again next year. The next ...
