Mimas Mania
The massive, 80 mile wide crater gives Mimas its striking resemblance to the death Star.
What is the Herschel Carter
What is Cryovolcano?
Between Mimas and Enceladus, this one has a surface covered in smooth, active terrains rather than ancient craters.
What is Enceladus?
This sci-fi space station is what Mimas is most frequently compared to due to its giant crater.
What is the Death Star?
pink.
What is Janae‘s favorite color?
Mimas is a moon orbiting this giant, ringed planet.
What is Saturn?
Enceladus reflects almost 100% of sunlight because it’s surface is covered in this.
What is snow (regolith)
Though they are close in size, this moon is slightly larger and much more geologically active than Mimas.
What is Enceladus?
Scientists look closely at Enceladus because its ocean contains organic molecules, making it a prime candidate for finding this.
What is Extraterrestrial life (or habitability)?
A 100% on the test.
What is the grade we’re gonna get?
Mimas is primarily composed of this material, mixed with a small amount of rock.
What is water ice?
The material spraying out of Enceladus feeds and creates this specific ring of Saturn.
E-ring
Both Mimas and Enceladus orbit this gas giant planet.
What is Saturn?
Mimas is the smallest known astronomical body that is shaped like this due to its own gravity.
What is Round (or spherical)?
Are you seriously still here?
The question I’m asking, BECAUSE CLEARLY THE TITLE SIAD not to pick it!?
Mimas was discovered in 1789 by this famous English astronmer.
What is William Herschel?
These dark blue, parallel fractures in the south polar regions are the source of Enceladus famous geyser.
What is Tiger stripes?
While Mimas is heavily cratered and looks 'dead', Enceladus is famous for hosting this type of global feature underneath its crust.
What is A global subsurface ocean?
This type of hydrothermal activity on Enceladus's ocean floor is believed to provide heat and minerals, much like Earth's ocean deeps.
What is Hydrothermal vents?
How do you feel about our presentation?
We love it and it’s amazing
Recent data from the cassini spacecraft suggests Mimas might hide this unexpected feature deep beneath its heavily cratered crust.
What is A subsurface liquid ocean?
Enceladus stays warm enough for a liquid ocean due to this process caused by Saturns gravitational pull.
What is tidal heating
Both moons were studied in extreme detail by this NASA/ESA spacecraft which orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017.
What is Cassini?
Mimas keeps the material in Saturn's Cassini Division clear through this gravitational phenomenon.
What is Orbital resonance?
Mr. Heff you should give us a 100 (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
Yes, Iyana and Janae deserve big 100 for their lesson today
