The case for a newborn ocean on Saturn's moon Mimas continues to build. Research mapping the thickness of the world's icy crust not only provides a window for how old an existing ocean might be but ...

Recent studies, including research from ScienceDirect, suggest that Saturn’s moon Mimas, known as the “Death Star” moon for ...

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 ...

Saturn's innermost moon, which resembles the Death Star from Star Wars, may be a "stealth" ocean world, according to new research. Mimas, which is the smallest and closest to Saturn of the ringed ...

Saturn's moon Enceladus, with its vast subsurface ocean, has revealed organic molecules in its icy plumes, crucial building blocks for life. Reanalyze ...

It may look as though Saturn’s moon Mimas is crashing through the rings in this image taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, but Mimas is actually 28,000 miles (45,000 kilometers) away from the rings.

All four of the solar system’s giant planets have ring systems. The rings of Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are dark, sparse belts or ringlets. Only Saturn’s massive main rings are dense and bright, ...
