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 ...

Crescent Mimas

A thin sliver of Mimas is illuminated, the long shadows showing off its many craters, indicators of the moon's violent history. The most famous evidence of a collision on Mimas (246 miles, or 396 kilometers across) is the crater Herschel that gives Mimas its Death Star-like appearance. See PIA12568 for more ...

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.

#Mimas is a moon of #Saturn that is covered in craters. It is the smallest of Saturn's major moons and is also known as Saturn I.

Mimas was discovered by William Herschel on September 17, 1789.

Mimas is the smallest astronomical body known to be roughly rounded in shape due to its own gravity.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Mimas: Small #Moon with a Big #Crater

Whatever hit Mimas nearly destroyed it. What remains is one of the largest impact craters on one of Saturn's smallest round moons. Analysis indicates that a slightly larger impact would have destroyed Mimas entirely.

The huge crater, named #Herschel, spans about 130 kilometers and is featured here.

On this day 235 years ago: 17 September 1789, Sir William Herschel, the German-born British astronomer, discovered Mimas, the seventh largest of the moons of Saturn and the seventh in the order of orbit. The first pictures of Mimas were made during the Voyager missions to the outer solar system. The international Cassini mission made several close approaches, sending back detailed images of this mysterious moon.

#Saturn’s ‘Death Star’ #moon has hidden #ocean under its crust, say scientists
#Mimas, the icy Saturnian moon famed for its resemblance to the Death Star, hides a liquid ocean under its crusty surface. The 250 mile-wide object joins#Titan and #Enceladus (and #Jupiter's #Europa and #Ganymede) in the secret subterranean sea club
Calculations suggest a 45-mile-deep internal body of#water lurks beneath Mimas’s 15-mile-thick icy shell https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/feb/07/saturn-death-star-moon-mimas-hidden-ocean

#Saturnmond #Mimas beherbergt einen #Ozean aus flüssigem Wasser!

Wenn selbst kleine, scheinbar inaktive Monde verborgene Ozeane beherbergen können, stehen die Chancen auf lebensfreundliche Nischen im All vielleicht besser als gedacht.

Saturnusmaan Mimas heeft vermoedelijk een ondergrondse oceaan

Uit een gedetailleerde analyse van de baanbeweging van Mimas, gebaseerd op gegevens van de Cassini-missie van de NASA, blijkt dat de maan een recent gevormde ondergrondse oceaan verbergt.

Überraschende Entdeckung: Der Saturnmond Mimas könnte einen jungen Ozean aus flüssigem Wasser unter seiner Eiskruste verbergen – bisher galt er als starr und durchgefroren. #Mimas #Eismond #Saturnmond #Astronomie #Sonnensystem

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
