"Dream - The Saturn moon famous for its large crater on the surface, apparently has a hidden ocean inside it. The natural satellite named Mimas is often compared to the Death Stars from Star Wars by researchers and astronomers."
"This discovery adds Mimas, an ice ball with a diameter of 250 miles, to the list of moons that have hidden oceans. Previously, there were Titan and Enceladus from Saturn, as well as Europa and Ganymede from Planet Jupiter."
This discovery is truly surprising. The surface of Mimas shows no signs of an ocean beneath it. This is really an unexpected candidate,
"Valery Lainey, an astronomer from the Observatoire de Paris, quoted from The Guardian."
The hidden ocean discovery beneath the surface of Mimas raises two hypotheses among researchers. First, Mimas is suspected to have a core coated with eternal ice. Second, Mimas indeed has an ocean inside it. This finding was obtained by researchers by analyzing thousands of images from NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn.
"Lainey and her team found that Mimas is supposed to have hidden oceans in order to move according to their observations. "It is impossible to explain the rotation or orbit of Mimas with a solid core. There must be a presence of global oceans there," added Lainey."
"The calculations they performed reveal the presence of an ocean on Mimas with a depth of up to 45 miles. This ocean is hidden beneath a layer of ice 15 miles thick."
"The ocean contributes to more than half of Mimas' volume and is believed to have emerged within the last 25 million years. The emergence of the ocean is due to the strong tidal influences from Saturn, which cause deformation in Mimas' core. Although the ocean on Mimas is relatively young from an astronomical perspective, the possibility of life existing there is not overlooked by researchers."
"Moreover, the water in that hidden ocean is believed to have interacted with the rocks containing heat inside Mimas."
"However, if this hidden ocean is only a few tens of millions of years old, the opportunity for life to grow may still be limited. Lainey and her team have detailed their findings in a report titled 'A Recently Formed Ocean Inside Saturn's Moon Mimas', published in the journal Nature this year."
"On the other hand, the planetary geosciences professor at Open University, David Rothery, stated that although Mimas has hidden oceans, there are other locations that are more promising for finding life beyond Earth, such as Enceladus and Europa."
According to Rothery, continuous exploration and understanding of the mysteries of outer space is essential. In addition, this discovery provides new insights into the potential for life on the moons of our Solar System.
"If there is life inside Mimas, it is most likely hidden beneath a layer of ice more than 20 km thick."If that ocean has only existed for 25 million years, then there may not have been enough time for life to begin and evolve."Therefore, Europa and Enceladus are considered more promising candidates," said Rothery."
