Meet Saturn's Death Star' Moon and the Intriguing Ocean It May Hide

The outer solar system may host many hidden oceans, increasing potential habitability of its moons, particularly Saturn's moon Mimas.

Saturn's moon Mimas may hide a surprisingly young ocean

Mimas may harbor a subsurface ocean, indicating the outer solar system could host more habitable environments than previously thought.

More water worlds than we thought might support life

Excess water on an exoplanet could inhibit the development of life, but deeper water may enable habitability despite high-pressure conditions.
New understandings of planetary formation suggest that exoplanets might be more complex in their water distribution than previously thought.

Saturn's Moon Mimas May Be Way More Inhabitable Than We First Thought

Mimas may have a hidden ocean beneath its icy crust, enhancing the habitability of the outer solar system.

Water on Mars? New study suggests an ocean's worth may be hiding beneath the red dusty surface

Mars may have enough water beneath its surface to form a global ocean, potentially seeped from ancient rivers, lakes, and oceans billions of years ago.

NASA's Curiosity rover makes 'mind-blowing' discovery on Mars

NASA's Curiosity rover discovered pure sulfur crystals on Mars, a unique finding that challenges previous understanding of the planet's composition and history.

This Hellish Version of Earth Has Lava Oceans

HD 63433d is a lava-Earth close to its star, potentially offering insights into habitability of rocky planets.
The planet is tidally locked like the Moon, has extreme temperatures, and may lack a thick atmosphere.

Saturn's moon Mimas may have vast, hidden ocean

Saturn's moon Mimas may have a vast ocean under its icy surface.
