"Since 2014, when scientists studying data from NASA's Cassini probe found that Mimas has a weird wobble that seems to only occur on water-bearing satellites, there's been ample pushback to the concept that the moon may have an ocean hidden under its icy surface."
"Heat to melt ice is hard to come by so far from the Sun. But thanks to a gravitational quirk, the outer solar system can be quite balmy."
"In the ensuing years, there's been more and more evidence lending credence to the Mimas ocean theory - and after a study published earlier this year in the journal Nature, scientists like Rhoden are now more interested in the how than the if."
