Uranus' Moons Reveal Unexpected Dark Side Reversals

A new study using the Hubble Space Telescope reveals that the dark sides of Uranus' moons are opposite to previous expectations, challenging existing models of their interaction with Uranus' magnetic field. The findings suggest complex magnetic interactions and propose dust shielding as an explanation for brightness patterns, while also hinting at the possibility of underground oceans, opening new avenues for understanding these distant icy worlds.
