Death Star In Orbit Around Saturn

This is Saturn's moon Mimas. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimas_%28moon%29

 

 

 

 

 

Quote:

Mimas' most distinctive feature is a colossal impact crater 130 km across, named Herschel after the moon's discoverer. Herschel's diameter is almost a third of the moon's own diameter; its walls are approximately 5 km high, parts of its floor measure 10 km deep, and its central peak rises 6 km above the crater floor. If there were a crater of an equivalent scale on Earth it would be over 4,000 km in diameter, wider than Canada. The impact that made this crater must have nearly shattered Mimas: fractures can be seen on the opposite side of Mimas that may have been created by shock waves from the impact travelling through the moon's body.

 

 

Pretty cool, since the original movie was made three years before the first close up pictures of the moon.

It'll do the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.
