It sure looks like the Death Star from Star Wars, but this one really IS a moon! Mimas is one of Saturn’s innermost moons. It has a crater 80 miles wide named Hershel. In this photo, taken from the Cassini orbiter, Mimas was shot in front of one of Saturn’s rings. Link to NASA information on Mimas.
