"Discovery: Saturn's 'Death Star' Moon Hides a Secret Ocean"

Scientists have discovered a hidden ocean beneath the icy shell of Saturn's moon Mimas, resembling the Death Star from "Star Wars." The ocean, located 12 to 18 miles below the surface, was identified through a detailed analysis of Mimas' orbital motion and is believed to be less than 25 million years old. This finding challenges previous assumptions about the moon's composition and could redefine the conditions for habitability on celestial bodies. The discovery, based on observations from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, has sparked excitement among researchers and could inspire new perspectives on the potential for young oceans on small, icy moons.
