The Cassini spacecraft captured this image on October 22, 2016 at a distance of 115,000 miles (185,000 km). Mimas is just barely 400 km (248 miles) across. As many Star Wars fans have noted, Herschel crater makes Mimas look a bit like the Death Star. In terms of comparison, the original Death Star from A New Hope is projected to be 120 km (75 miles) wide, which is a third the size of Mimas and about 1/25th the size of Earth’s moon. Put another way, the fictional space station is nearly the same size as Herschel crater.By #NASA and info by #Gizmodo | EPIC INSTA
