From Ars Technica:
"The ocean must have formed relatively recently, but we don't know how."

I always thought Mimas only contained the exiled Grand Moff Tarkin, where did he find so much water!

Lot's of interesting unknowns there!

Perhaps we need a Cassini II mission to go and have a look for plumes.
