Located around 30 times as far from the Sun as Earth, Neptune is not visible to the naked eye. The planet's blue color comes from methane in its atmosphere, which absorbs red wavelengths of light.
And now, new research based on images taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft has suggested that Miranda, a small Uranian icy moon, may have once possessed a deep liquid water ocean beneath its surface.
