They proposed that forced physical libration amplitudes exceeding 100 meters at Miranda, Ariel, and Umbriel could indicate the decoupling of global oceans beneath thick ice shells. Such oceans may ...
A number of people who've seen NASA's annual lunar phase and libration videos have asked what the other side of the Moon looks like, the side that can't be seen from the Earth. This video answers ...
The study investigated whether subsurface oceans exist in the icy moons of Uranus by examining the relationship between libration amplitudes (wobbling during rotation) and internal structures.
“To provide navigation support for planned space experiments in circumlunar space and on the lunar surface, a precise theory of physical libration with accuracy of a millisecond of arc is needed ...
