Hidden beneath the heavily cratered surface of Mimas, one of Saturn's smallest moons lies a secret: a global ocean of liquid water. This astonishing discovery, led by Dr. Valéry Lainey of the Observatoire de Paris-PSL and published in the journal Nature, reveals a "young" ocean formed just 5 to 15 million years ago, making Mimas a prime target for studying the origins of life in our solar system. "Mimas is a small moon, only about 400 kilometers in diameter, and its heavily cratered surface gave no hint of the hidden ocean beneath," says Dr. Nick Cooper, a co-author of the study and Honorary Research Fellow in the Astronomy Unit of the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London.

Saturn's Rings Seen Sideways - April 29th, 1996.

"Saturn's rings are actually very thin. This picture from the Hubble Space Telescope was taken on August 6th, 1995, when the rings lined up sideways as seen from Earth. Saturn's largest moon Titan is seen on the left, and Titan's shadow can be seen on Saturn's cloud tops! Titan itself looks a brownish colour because of its thick atmosphere. Four other moons of Saturn can be seen just above the ring plane, which are, from left to right: Mimas, Tethys, Janus, and Enceladus. If you look carefully, you will note that the dark band across the planet is actually the shadow of the rings, and is slightly displaced from the real rings - which are best seen away from the planet. Saturn's rings are not solid - they are composed of ice chunks, which range in size from a grain of sand to a house."

Jupiter and Saturn and a few of their moons // MAILLARD

Projected onto the disk of Jupiter is its largest moon, Ganymede.

Several moons surround Saturn. Counterclockwise from left to right: Tethys, Dione, a background star, Mimas, Enceladus, Titan, and Rhea.

Mimas in Saturnlight. (Actual photo)

Explanation: Peering from the shadows, the Saturn-facing hemisphere of Mimas lies in near darkness alongside a dramatic sunlit crescent. The mosaic was captured near the Cassini spacecraft's final close approach on January 30, 2017. Cassini's camera was pointed in a nearly sunward direction only 45,000 kilometers from Mimas. The result is one of the highest resolution views of the icy, crater-pocked, 400 kilometer diameter moon. An enhanced version better reveals the Saturn-facing hemisphere of the synchronously rotating moon lit by sunlight reflected from Saturn itself. To see it, slide your cursor over the image (or follow this link). Other Cassini images of Mimas include the small moon's large and ominous Herschel Crater.

Triple Crescents of Saturn | This image was taken by the Cassini-Huygens project in 2015. It shows three of Saturn's moons: Titan (largest), Rhea and Mimas (smallest). It is thought that Saturn has approximately 146 moons with confirmed orbits. Photography credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute.

Mimas, a quiet lad who had survived a near-death experience at the cost of his vision. He's a moon of Saturn!

#art #solar system #solar system gijinka #gijinka #personification #mimas #moons #saturnian moons #heliosphere: under the sky #Saturn I #he's one of my favourite designs from the original concepts. so i figured i'd draw him again for tonight's leisurely doodles #he's probably quiet mostly from the trauma he still has from that life-threatening impact

Today's polish is a complicated one to be sure. I really really love the colors in this polish. For a magnetic polish it is such a unique combination of colors. I love how at extreme angles the purple shifts to an almost magenta color. But the blue magnetic pigment was not very strong at ALL. Immediately after finishing the manicure, the magnetic stripe looked super spread out like I had painted it the day before. So I'm not sure how I feel about this one. What do you all think? This is Mimas from Alchemy Lacquers.
