The quest to find extra-terrestrial life in our solar system gains momentum as a distant space body shows potential habitability, with a 12 to 18-mile-deep body of water.
Astronomers have made a shock discovery that Saturn's moon Mimas seems to have a liquid ocean beneath its surface, potentially redefining our search for life on alien moons.
