Mimas’ heavily cratered surface (left) suggests a cold history, but its librations rule out a homogeneous interior. Rather, Mimas must have a rocky interior and outer hydrosphere, which could include a liquid ocean (Option A) or be fully frozen with an irregularly shaped core (Option B). An ocean provides a better fit to the phase of the libration but is difficult to reconcile with Mimas’ geology.

More evidence that Saturn’s moon Mimas is a stealth ocean world

Conventional plastic straws and corn plastic straws did not decompose after 120 days under marine conditions. They have preserved their shape and lost only 5% of their total weight. In the meantime, eco-friendly straws developed by the research team lost more than 50% of their weight after 60 days and decomposed completely after 120 days.

100% biodegradable paper straws that do not become soggy
