Astronomers discover enormous evidence that a geologically young ocean exists beneath the icy crust of Saturn’s moon Mimas. A French-led research team observed changes in Mimas’s orbit and rotation and reported that a hidden ocean 12 to 18 miles ( 20 to 30 kilometers) beneath the icy crust was more likely a prolonged rocky core.

This Hubble image shows a massive cluster of shiny bright galaxies identified as galaxy cluster Abell 3192. This galaxy Cluster is filled with hot gas that produces powerful X-rays, and it’s covered in a halo of dark matter. All of the unseen material thus the amount of galaxies seen in this image makes the galaxy
