"Revealing Mimas: Saturn's Tiny Moon Hides a Young Ocean"

Researchers have discovered a global ocean of liquid water beneath the surface of Mimas, one of Saturn’s smallest moons, using data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The young ocean, estimated to be only 5 to 15 million years old, makes Mimas a prime target for studying the origins of life in our Solar System and provides insights into ocean formation and the potential for life beyond Earth. This discovery has significant implications for our understanding of the potential for life beyond Earth and opens up exciting new avenues for future exploration.
