"Hidden Ocean Discovered Inside Saturn's 'Death Star' Moon Mimas"

Scientists have discovered that Saturn's moon Mimas, known for its resemblance to the Death Star, harbors a hidden ocean beneath its icy crust, making it the latest addition to the group of moons in our solar system with subsurface oceans. The ocean, estimated to be 45 miles deep and relatively young at 25 million years old, was detected through analysis of Mimas's orbit and spin. This finding has sparked interest in the potential for life on Mimas, although some experts believe that other moons like Europa and Enceladus may be more promising candidates for harboring life.
