  5. Dwarfed by Saturn

    Saturn moon Mimas appears near Saturn, dwarfed by its parent planet in this image. Mimas appears tiny compared to the storms clearly visible in far northern and southern hemispheres of Saturn.

  12. Blemished by Mimas

    A pastel crescent of Saturn is interrupted by the moon Mimas and the rings in this color image captured by NASA Cassini spacecraft. Mimas 396 kilometers, or 246 miles across appears as a dark speck just above the rings.

  13. Farewell to Mimas

    In its season of "lasts," NASA's Cassini spacecraft made its final close approach to Saturn's moon Mimas on January 30, 2017. At closest approach, Cassini passed 25,620 miles (41,230 kilometers) from Mimas. All future observations of Mimas will be from more than twice this distance. This mosaic is one of ...

  18. Streaked Craters in False-Color

    A false-color view of Saturn moon Mimas from NASA Cassini spacecraft accentuates terrain-dependent color differences and shows dark streaks running down the sides of some of the craters on the region of the moon that leads in its orbit around Saturn.

  20. Mimas Mountain

    Shadows cast across Mimas' defining feature, Herschel Crater, provide an indication of the size of the crater's towering walls and central peak. Named after the icy moon's discoverer, astronomer William Herschel, the crater stretches 86 miles (139 kilometers) wide -- almost one-third of the diameter of Mimas...

  22. Dot Against the Dark

    As if trying to get our attention, Mimas is positioned against the shadow of Saturn's rings, bright on dark. As we near summer in Saturn's northern hemisphere, the rings cast ever larger shadows on the planet. With a reflectivity of about 96 percent, Mimas (246 miles, or 396 kilometers across) appears ...
