科学家们在土星卫星土卫一的冰冷表面下发现了隐藏的海洋。 Scientists have discovered a hidden ocean beneath the icy surface of Saturn's moon Mimas. 这片“隐形海洋”位于地表以下 20 英里处，据信其温度足以维持生命。 This "stealth ocean" is 20 miles beneath the surface and is believed to be warm enough to sustain life. 1789年发现的土卫一此前被认为只是一个由冰和岩石组成的球体。 It was previously thought that Mimas, discovered in 1789, was just a ball of frozen ice and rock. 然而，这项新研究表明，冰和岩石核心之间存在液态海洋，这可能蕴藏着外星生命的秘密。 However, this new research suggests there is a liquid ocean between the ice and the rocky core, which could hold the secret to extraterrestrial life.
