Death Star Mimas and Its Giant Crater Herschel
SUMMARY: In this Cassini image of Mimas perched in front of Saturn's moons, you can clearly see its giant crater Herschel. The 130-kilometer (80-mile) crater makes the moon look like the Death Star from Star Wars. Cassini took this image on October 13, 2005 when it was approximately 711,000 kilometers (442,000 miles) from Mimas.

This is a really great image of Mimas (Death Star)!
 Cassini surprises almost daily with the great images it is able to take! Congratulations to the Cassini team!
