AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The ongoing search for oceans in our solar system is taking us to Uranus. A new computer model, designed by researchers at the University of Texas, could help a future NASA mission locate liquid water on the icy world's moons.A new paper, published in Advancing Earth and Space Sciences, revealed how the model could use Uranus' moons wobble to detect the oceans.S
