Boiling oceans may lurk beneath the ice of solar system's smallest moons The outer planets of the solar system are swarmed by ice-wrapped moons. Some of these, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus, are known to have oceans of liquid water between the ice shell and the rocky core and could be the best places in our solar system to look for extraterrestrial life. A new study published Nov. 24 in Nature Astronomy sheds light on what could be going on beneath the surface of these worlds and provides insights into how their diverse geologic features may have formed.

these icy little moons are becoming more and more fascinating and dynamic, and in the background there is always the possibility of Life...

Small, Frozen Moons in the Solar System Could have Boiling Oceans Beneath the Ice It could be one of the solar system's best kept secrets.

It has been a busy week of talks! A few more science talks tomorrow and Friday for the SESA conference and then a slow down until November! Excited for this public talk! #StarWars #LukeSkywalker #DeathStar #Mimas #Space #Astronomy #STEAM #STEM #publicoutreach #astronomer #moon #craters #icymoon

NASA released some shape models of four of Saturn's moons. These have every lump and bump; they're not simple spheres.

Here's a test render I did in #Blender showing #Mimas in false color - red is high, blue low. Clearly shows how non-spherical it is!

‘From Mimas, innermost of the satellites, Saturn looms immensely over the horizon. Mimas, which is 600 miles in diameter, is 117,000 miles from the planet. The shadow lying across Saturn’s surface is cast by its ring.’

Close-up view of Saturn's moon Mimas, showcasing its prominent Herschel crater, a massive impact feature. The image, captured by the Cassini spacecraft, highlights subtle color variations on the surface, potentially indicating differences in composition. The contrast-enhanced false-color image reveals the crater's unique characteristics and the heavily cratered surrounding terrain.

A cartoon drawing of Saturn’s moon, Mimas. There is a very large crater taking up most of the moon’s right side with a mountain in the middle. There is a smirking cartoon face on the moon.

While one of the many otherwise unexciting grey spheres in the solar system, Mimas has one standout trait: with his giant crater, Herschel, he does look a bit like the Death Star. #mimas #saturn #space #spacefacts #solarsystem #scienceillustration

A grayscale image of Saturn's moon Mimas, showcasing its prominent Herschel crater, which dominates a significant portion of its surface. The crater's immense size, nearly a third of Mimas' diameter, gives the moon a striking resemblance to the Death Star from Star Wars. The image highlights the moon's heavily cratered surface and the shadow cast by Herschel's central peak.

#Mimas is a moon of #Saturn that is covered in craters. It is the smallest of Saturn's major moons. It was discovered by William Herschel on September 17, 1789.

Mimas is the smallest astronomical body known to be roughly rounded in shape due to its own gravity.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Mimas: Small #Moon with a Big #Crater

Whatever hit Mimas nearly destroyed it. What remains is one of the largest impact craters on one of Saturn's smallest round moons.

The huge crater, named #Herschel, spans about 130 Km.
