Animal Life Discovered Underground Near Hydrothermal Vents in the Deep Pacific Seabed
Recent deep-sea explorations have unveiled a remarkable ecosystem thriving beneath the Pacific Ocean's floor. Scientists deployed a remotely operated vehicle to investigate hydrothermal vent sites along the East Pacific Rise, where two tectonic plates diverge. Beneath the seafloor, they discovered cavities harboring giant tubeworms—the largest wo...

James Webb Space Telescope Detects Possible Liquid Ocean on Uranus Moon Ariel
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered intriguing evidence suggesting that Ariel, one of Uranus’s moons, may harbour an underground liquid ocean. This discovery, part of the "Moons of Uranus" project, involved 21 hours of observations focused on detecting water, ammonia, organic molecules, and carbon dioxide ice.

Underground Reservouir on Mars Could Fill Oceans on Planet's Surface, Study Reveals
Recent research based on data from NASA’s InSight mission has identified a substantial underground reservoir on Mars. This reservoir, located between 7 and 12 miles below the Martian surface, could hold enough water to cover the planet to a depth of 1 mile. The data, gathered by InSight’s seismometer between 2018 and 2022, suggests that water i...

Ceres Dwarf Planet Is an ‘Ocean World’ With Salty Water Underground, NASA Data Suggest
Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, is an "ocean world" with a big reservoir of salty water under its frigid surface, scientists said in findings based on data obtained by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft.

Underground Ocean Found On Pluto, Likely Slushy With Ice
Scientists have found evidence that tiny, distant Pluto harbors a hidden ocean beneath the frozen surface of its heart-shaped central plain containing as much water as all of Earth's seas.

Jupiter's Largest Moon Definitely Has an Ocean, Says NASA
Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, definitely has an underground ocean, researchers said today after confirming the moon's long-suspected subsurface saltwater body with the help of auroras glimpsed by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Saturn Moon May Have 'Life-Friendly' Underground Ocean: Scientists
Saturn's battered moon Mimas may have a thin global ocean buried miles beneath its icy surface, raising the prospect of another "life-friendly" habitat in the solar system, scientists said on Thursday.

Does Ocean on Pluto's Giant Moon Harbour Life?
Even as NASA's New Horizons spacecraft gears up to visit Pluto and its giant moon Charon next year, researchers predicted different fracture patterns on the surface of Charon that could point towards underground liquid water - a necessary ingredient for life.
