NASA: The highest-resolution-yet temperature map and images of Saturn’s icy moon Mimas obtained by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft reveal surprising patterns on the surface of the small moon ...

Saturn's tiny frozen "Death Star" moon could actually be a "stealth" ocean world, scientists say 01:49. One of NASA's latest discoveries could change the definition of what planetary objects aside ...

Saturn’s innermost moon Mimas, which resembles the Death Star from Star Wars thanks to a giant crater, may be a “stealth” ocean world, containing a hidden ocean beneath a thick shell of ice.

The discovery makes Mimas even more similar to its Saturnian moon sibling, Enceladus, which scientists had already known has a subsurface ocean.Both moons exist at similar distances from the gas ...

Saturn’s smallest major moon, Mimas, looks like a solid block of ice, However, while it’s comparatively diminutive it just got a whole lot more interesting to scientists as they say that ...

Mimas might look quiet, but NASA's now-defunct Saturn-studying Cassini spacecraft "identified a curious libration, or oscillation, in the moon's rotation, which often points to a geologically ...

In 2014, scientists first published evidence that Mimas might be a watery world — submerging the community in a decade-long debate. Many, including Alyssa Rhoden, a planetary scientist now at ...

Researchers have just revealed that Mimas, one of Saturn's smallest moons, has an ocean of liquid water flowing under its entire surface. What is really making waves though, is how young the body ...

Mimas, the smallest and innermost of Saturn's major moons, is believed to generate the right amount of heat to support a subsurface ocean of liquid water. And recent simulations of the moon's ...

Using instruments aboard the Cassini spacecraft to measure the wobbles of Mimas, the closest of Saturn's regular moons, a Cornell University astronomer publishing in Science, Oct. 17, has inferred ...
