They’re running rings around Uranus.

New research suggests a moon orbiting the sophomoric-sounding planet might contain enough natural resources to support alien life.

Scientists from Johns Hopkins and the University of North Dakota say the lunar object, named Miranda, has sources of water hidden below its surface.

The finding could be a breakthrough in mankind’s ongoing search for the little green men.

“To find evidence of an ocean inside a small object like Miranda is incredibly surprising,” said planetary scientist and researcher Tom Nordheim. The findings were published in The Planetary Science Journal.

“It helps build on the story that some of these moons at Uranus may be really interesting — that there may be several ocean worlds around one of the most distant planets in our solar system, which is both exciting and bizarre,” he added of the “remarkable” potential.

Could this be why the aliens are so fixated on probing Earthlings?

I object to that characterization!

That moon looked like a bunch of rocks that all rejoined together
Strange that any water exists.
