Minmus discovered, for real!

[Jimbodiah]

"Enceladus was discovered on 28 August 1789 by William Herschel, but little was known about it until the two Voyager spacecraft passed nearby in the early 1980s. In 2005, the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft started multiple close flybys of Enceladus, revealing its surface and environment in greater detail (NASA/JPL/SSI)".  European Space History

Thread move -> Science & Spaceflight.

And yes, that moon does look delicious.

On a related note, Earth sort of has more than one moon. I vote that we name 2016HO3 Minmus.

But can we biome-hop to get science?

How would sound a plural for Minmus? Minmii?
