AI overview
Mimas is a small moon of Saturn that is composed mostly of water ice and may harbor a hidden ocean beneath its frozen surface. Scientists find it significant because it is the smallest celestial body known to be rounded by its own gravity, and its heavily cratered surface provides clues about the history of Saturn's moon system.
