#Saturn’s ‘Death Star’ #moon has hidden #ocean under its crust, say scientists
#Mimas, the icy Saturnian moon famed for its resemblance to the Death Star, hides a liquid ocean under its crusty surface. The 250 mile-wide object joins#Titan and #Enceladus (and #Jupiter's #Europa and #Ganymede) in the secret subterranean sea club
Calculations suggest a 45-mile-deep internal body of#water lurks beneath Mimas’s 15-mile-thick icy shell https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/feb/07/saturn-death-star-moon-mimas-hidden-ocean

With Enceladus making the headlines for the detection, in data taken by the Cassini spacecraft Cosmic Dust Analyzer, of phosphates originating in its subsurface ocean, let's enjoy this 2015 Nature cover featuring some simulated eruptions from fractures in the moon's surface.
