The ocean has been formed inside the moon
Researchers have found a previously unknown ocean on Saturn’s moon Mimas. They took the Cassini satellite’s observations and combined them with simulations of Mimas’ interior and its orbit to conclude there must be an ocean 20–30 kilometres below Mimas’ surface. The team added that Cassini observations with simulations of Enceladus’ internal structure inferred from acoupled…

NASA and French National Centre for Space Studies are launching a space mission, named SWOT, that will bounce radar off of the surface of Earth’s water bodies to map the elevation, extent and movement of water across the planet. The satellite will enable scientists to measure and track the elevation, extent and movement of water…
