It's the moon Ariel, plus maybe a few others. Figured I'd put in comments what the article was about to balance out the name jokes. I used to try and pronounce it with the different accent, but I don't bother now. It's the name.

On the actual topic, that's fascinating that there's enough gravitational force for Uranus to do what Jupiter does to its moons. Granted Ariel is a lot closer. We really need missions for each of these type moons to get under the ice and see what's there.

Just read an article about ice under the surface of Mars, perhaps a whole oceans worth. There's a lot of water out there I don't know if it necessarily is going to translate into life but it's cool to find. If nothing else it gives us options if we screw all ours up.

Our water is already screwed up with micro plastics.

Microplastic water is next-gen water. Whatever evolves to use it is the winner.
