Mimas is one of Saturn's innermost moons, famous for its heavily cratered surface, particularly the massive Herschel Crater, which gives it a resemblance to the Star Wars Death Star.

Discovered by William Herschel in 1789, it's a small, icy body composed mostly of water ice with a low density, and it orbits Saturn in just under 23 hours.

Despite its seemingly inert, frozen appearance, recent analysis of its orbital wobble suggests Mimas harbors a young, subsurface ocean, making it a surprising candidate for potential habitability.
