"Mimas, also known as Saturn I, is the innermost and smallest of Saturn's main moons. It was discovered on Sept. 17, 1789 by English astronomer William Herschel and named for one of the Giants of Greek mythology. Mimas is approximately 246 miles (396 km) across. It revolves around Saturn in a prograde, near-circular orbit at a mean distance of about 117,000 miles (189,000 km)…"

Just today I was telling one of my students about Mimas. |

From the link: Mimas' surface is icy and heavily cratered. Judging from the lesion on the right in the photo, that is certainly an understatement. |

Actually, that's quite recent. Kaiser Sozey launched a secret probe to test his 'BEAM' weapon-Beamed Emission of Anti-Matter. Obviously for global extortion purposes. Soon to be followed by 'BEDAM' tests(Beamed Emission of Dark Anti-Matter) and BEPAM'
(Beamed Emission of Plaid Anti-Matter). There is no end to his evil. |

Didn't Star Wars premier before Voyager took its first photos of Mimas? |
