UM-Bot Posted October 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2014 There is now believed to be something mysterious lurking below the surface of Saturn's moon Mimas.

Bavarian Raven Posted October 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Cool. Those outer moons have always fascinated me more then mars. I hope I live to see the day where explorations (either robotic or human) are sent down to their surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted October 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Very interesting and great find! Saturn, not Jupiter was the planet from the book version of 2001:A Space Odyssey. However, the book was written after the movie version. I read somewhere why Arthur C. Clarke changed the planet but I don't remember why. Hopefully the "Kill the Moon" Doctor Who episode isn't right and that moon is an egg for a creature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted October 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2014 CGI was in it's infancy and they just didn't have the time or tech to do the rings. Just as well, they would been jarringly unrealistic viewed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashyne Posted October 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Using the theory of Occam's Razor, the moon is most likely (almost certainly to be) a Death Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
