Simple Tricks and Nonsense

I won't make the "that's no moon, that's a space station" remark, because every other blogger who's ever posted a picture of Saturn's moon Mimas has already said it. Even so, I gotta say that this thing looks enough like the Death Star to give me the willies. We'd better hope that really is just a big impact crater there in the upper hemisphere, and that this thing doesn't someday start moving toward Earth under its own power...

Technical note, for those who may care: this image of Mimas against the backdrop of Saturn's rings was taken by the Cassini spacecraft. Details can be found here.
