Saturn's Mimas Moon May Have Hidden Boiling Ocean

Scientists have found that Saturn's moon Mimas, which looks like a big, cratered ball of ice, might have a hidden ocean under its surface.

This ocean could be boiling because of the way the moon's ice and water interact.

The researchers from UC Davis studied how heat from the planet and other moons can melt the ice and create these oceans.

They think that on smaller moons like Mimas, the water could turn into a liquid, solid, and gas all at the same time, which could make it boil.

This is important because places with liquid water could be good places to look for signs of life beyond Earth.
