The loss of the magma played a crucial role in the moon's landscape formation. There was once a magma-filled ocean on the south pole of the moon, scientists recently discovered after analyzing ...

Researchers suggest this is because Mimas' ocean dwells 12 to 18 miles (20 to 30 kilometers) below the moon's 15-mile-thick frozen shell. An image from the Cassini spacecraft of Saturn's moon Mimas.

The outer solar system is awash with liquid water. A briny ocean is concealed beneath the icy crust of Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon, Europa—with more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined.

Data from India’s recent Chandrayaan-3 mission supports the idea that an ocean of molten rock once covered the moon. Scientists from the mission have published their new findings in the journal ...

This would have meant the newly formed moon was covered entirely in magma: a global magma ocean, so hot and deep that it took at least tens of millions of years to cool and solidify into rock.
