Recent studies, including research from ScienceDirect, suggest that Saturn’s moon Mimas, known as the “Death Star” moon for its iconic crater, may hide a secret ocean beneath its icy surface. While ...

The once-exclusive club of Solar System objects that host oceans is getting increasingly crowded. On Wednesday, Nature released a paper providing evidence that Saturn's moon Mimas has a subsurface ...

The outer solar system is awash with liquid water. A briny ocean is concealed beneath the icy crust of Jupiter’s fourth largest moon, Europa — with more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined. A ...

French researchers cited observations made by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Scientists have discovered a recently formed "force" under one of Saturn's most storied moons. Saturn's Mimas moon resembles ...

"If Mimas has an ocean, it represents a new class of small, 'stealth' ocean worlds with surfaces that do not betray the ocean's existence." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

An uncanny resemblance to the Death Star might not be the only intriguing thing about Saturn’s moon Mimas. It could also harbor a vast ocean of liquid water beneath its pockmarked exterior. A new look ...

Astronomers studying Mimas, one of Saturn's smaller moons, say it's likely hiding a giant ocean beneath its crust. Using data gathered from the Cassini probe, which studied Saturn and its moons for ...

Saturn’s moon Mimas may have an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust, suggests a recent study. Icy moons with oceans locked away beneath miles of ice are turning out to be fairly common in our ...
