A new study suggests that the planet’s icy interior and liquid ocean could be insulated with a three-to-six-mile-thick layer of methane clathrate, which is solid water ice with methane gas ...

Methane clathrate, or "methane hydrate," is a solid compound in which a large amount of methane is trapped within the crystalline structure of water, creating a solid similar to ice. Considering ...
