A new study suggests the existence of an ocean at least 100 kilometers ( 62 miles ) thick on Miranda .

The researchers don’t think such a deep water body is still present, but liquid water may remain under the moon’s surface.

Miranda may have made Miranda very Enceladus-like, “and potentially habitable, in the geologically recent past”.

The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) and Europa Clipper missions are on their way to the Jovian system now, to reveal Jupiter ’s icy moons in greater detail. What they find could provide useful context for better understanding Miranda , whose subsurface may yet yield a brave new world for us to understand..
