An icy crust on one of Uranus' moons could harbour life.

Boffins wants NASA to launch a probe on the blue-coloured planet as it is believed it may hold ice and water which means it is possible for plants and creatures to live there.

Uranus has a strong force and scientists think it could possibly have changed the path of other objects in the solar system - including Earth - over time.

They have proposed that the US space agency launches a Uranus orbiter and probe on a multi-year mission to find out more.

Mark Hofstadter, a planetary scientist at NASA, said: "It is plausible that life could exist under the icy crust of one of Uranus' moons.

"Such life would probably have a very different genesis than that of the Earth, and I don't think anyone can say if it is plausible."
