That’s no moon! Oh, wait. It is a moon. It’s Saturn’s moon Mimas that reminds many of the Death Star from @StarWars.
In this view captured by our Cassini spacecraft on its closest-ever flyby of Saturn's moon Mimas, the large Herschel Crater dominates. Herschel Crater is 130 kilometers, or 80 miles, wide and covers most of the right of this image. Scientists continue to study this impact basin and its surrounding terrain. Cassini came within about 9,500 kilometers (5,900 miles) of Mimas on Feb. 13, 2010.
