New surface data from largest Uranian moons are contrary to expectations.
Using Hubble to study the four largest moons of Uranus, a team of astronomers searched for signs of interactions between Uranus' magnetic environment and the surfaces of the moons. They went into the study looking for evidence of one hypothesis, but in analyzing their data, they came up with an entirely different one. Only with Hubble’s unique capabilities was the team able to uncover the surprising finding.
