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…

The planet, which lies between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn, has been found to have an atmosphere similar to that of Earth, although it is likely to have a dense atmosphere, researchers said. This is expected…
