Massive ‘Gravity Anomaly’ Caused by Ancient #Sea Remnants Deep Inside #Earth, Study Says
The remains of the prehistoric #Tethys #Ocean are now inside the Earth, causing a massive #gravity anomaly in the Indian Ocean. The massive #gravityanomaly has puzzled scientists for years. Now, a new study proposes that the ancient remains of another ocean that sank deep into the Earth itself gave rise to the #IndianOcean geoid low (#IOGL), as the anomaly is called.

We need to send another satellite to #Saturn! Maybe a rover too! #Enceladus may not be the only moon blasting ice into space (I suspect #Tethys & #Mimas as well, & maybe #Dione too).
Yes, we will have to visit #Titan again for obvious reasons, but we need to check out Saturn’s smaller moons too.
👉🏾 Saturn's moon Enceladus is blasting a plume of water 6000 miles high. Could life be lurking under its icy shell? https://www.space.com/saturn-moon-enceladus-water-plume-james-webb-space-telescope

Divers are often put at considerable risk when searching for people or objects underwater. The #ETH spin-off #Tethys has developed an #underwater #robot that can be used in situations that are too dangerous for human divers.
The Tethys robot is an #autonomous #UnderwaterVehicle that has been specially developed for use in challenging and dangerous environments like turbid channels and rivers. It is primarily used in situations when it is too difficult or cont.

#Tethys Seas: 500 to 66 million years ago
About 300 Mya "a new ocean was growing, the Neotethys Ocean. The Central Pangean Mountains, due to the collision of Laurasia and Gondwana, reached their maximum height during the early Permian around 295 million years ago, comparable to the present Himalayas, but became heavily eroded as the Permian progressed."

Saturn’s moon #Tethys appears to float between two sets of rings in this view from the #NASA #Cassini spacecraft, but it’s just a trick of geometry. The rings, which are seen nearly edge-on, are the dark bands above Tethys, while their curving shadows paint the planet at the bottom of the image.
